Birds of Prey and Il ladro di giorni hit Italian cinemas this weekend

This weekend in Italy, two films open in theaters: Birds of Prey and Il ladro di giorni. Birds of Prey, distributed by Warner Bros. Italia, features Margot Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn, now single and unprotected after her split from the Joker. The film is a colorful, eccentric, and violent female ensemble piece where Quinn teams up with Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez), and Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) to fight injustice. Villains Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina) and Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) appear. The film is seen as a redemption from the poorly received Suicide Squad. Il ladro di giorni, directed by Guido Lombardi and distributed by Vision Distribution, is a road movie about a father and son reconnecting. Riccardo Scamarcio plays Vincenzo, a father arrested when his son Salvo was five. Seven years later, Vincenzo returns to take Salvo on a trip to Bari under the guise of transporting drugs. The film explores redemption, silence, and the blurred line between good and evil, with a cameo by art and its deceptions. It premiered at the 2019 Rome Film Festival to mixed reviews.
