, born a Catholic and inclined to be a Marxist, has always created films as acts of incitement. Young man’s films, in other words.
“It was not in my intention to romanticize in any way,” Bellocchio said, during a visit here. “My points of reference were, on one hand, the history of the Mafia, based on the record, and, on other hand, a more secret part. I don’t know how successful I was, but I wanted to personalize it through my gaze and to personalize it by somehow imagining a biography of a life I myself had never lived.
“I’ve been showing the film around the United States and the interest is there,” he said. “But when I set out to make this film I set out to make an Italian story and for an Italian public. It was a big success in Italy and it’s a big success in France as well. But my borders, if I can even refer to them that way, are Italian.Pierfrancesco Favino, left, who plays the titular “Traitor,” and director Marco Bellochio at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Nov. 15, 2019.
“There will always be a specialized public that loves foreign and arthouse films,” he said. “But the audience perception changes according to taste, fashion, whatever ideas are circulating. In the ’60s there were certain ideas, now there are others.
