Justice for Tortora in New TV Series

TORONTO – Toronto filmgoers were treated to a Marco Bellocchio retrospective at TIFF Lightbox recently, an event that celebrated the Italian filmmaking legend’s decades-long career – which started in the 1960s. Present for the opening screening, the political thriller Fists in the Pocket, was his son [and actor] Pier Giorgio who subbed in as the guest of honour. Pier Giorgio described his father’s relentless drive to tell stories, despite being well into his 80s. And on that night audiences were tipped off about Marco’s latest TV Series, for which he was preparing to shoot.
