“A beguiling drama that sits midway between dark realism and fantastical fairy-tale.” Time out

“A divine blend of natural and supernatural, fantasy and actuality, Sicilian Ghost Story reflects the horrors of a Mafia kidnapping through the prism of first love.” The New York Times

“Sicilian Ghost Story is affecting and original – and it has a political kick too. This is a Mafia movie in which the only point of view that matters is that of the kids.” The Independent

“With outstanding cinematography and magical storytelling, the co-directors found a beautiful and strong way to tell such a tough story based on a true event of a Mafia kidnapping.” (Variety)

“Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza’s hypnotic mystery film about a teenage girl stalking her missing lover into a dream world is a chilling vision of lost youth”.

The film will be followed by a Q&A session with Marco Mancassola and Paolo Nelli.
