Fratelli D'Innocenzo's 'America Latina' Hits Italian Theaters

Fabio and Damiano D'Innocenzo's film 'America Latina' premiered in Italian theaters on January 13, 2022, distributed by Vision Distribution. The movie was in competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival and completes a trilogy that began with 'La terra dell'abbastanza' and continued with 'Favolacce'. The plot follows Massimo Sisti (played by Elio Germano), a successful dentist living in a fog-shrouded villa with his wife Alessandra and daughters Laura and Ilenia, whose life unravels after a disturbing discovery in his basement. The directors described the film as their most challenging work, exploring identity and family through a lens of 'sweetness' and its extreme consequences. The villa, reminiscent of a psychiatric hospital, symbolizes the protagonist's fractured psyche. The female characters' costumes evoke Sofia Coppola's 'The Virgin Suicides'.
