Paolo Briguglia

The true story of 17-year-old Sicilian Rita Atria (Veronica D'Agostino) -- who broke the Sicilian Mafia's code of silence and testified against the "family business" after both her father and then her brother are both murdered -- is brought to vivid life in Marco Amenta's hard-hitting and wonderfully acted drama.

Long before Queer and Call Me By Your Name, Luca Guadagnino partnered with the one-and-only Tilda Swinton for his experimental debut feature. A surreal faux-documentary about a mysterious murder, this cinematic fever dream presciently taps into the current cultural obsession with true-crime dramas.

"The Lions of Sicily" tells the love story of Vincenzo and Giulia during the Florio family's rise.
