Black Souls is the tragedy of three brothers who are close to the ’Ndrangheta, a Mafia-style criminal organization similar to the Cosa Nostra. The story of this Calabrian criminal family unfolds like a western set in our own day, where the laws of blood and the vendetta take precedence over everything.
Luigi Carbone (Marco Leonardi of Cinema Paradiso and Like Water for Chocolate), the youngest, is an international drug dealer. Rocco (Peppino Mazzotta), Milanese by adoption and a member of the middle class, runs a business funded by his brother’s ill-gotten gains. Luciano (Fabrizio Ferracane), the oldest, is a farmer who refuses to participate in criminal activity.
When Luciano’s son shoots up a bar owned by a rival family with a longstanding blood feud with the Carbones, his reckless actions create trouble that brings the whole family together for the inevitable bloody showdown. Directed and co-written by Francesco Munzi.
The movie will be screened in San Francisco at Landmark Opera Plaza (http://www.landmarktheatres.com/san-francisco/opera-plaza-cinema) and in Los Angeles at Landmark NuArt theater (http://www.landmarktheatres.com/los-angeles/nuart-theatre)
