First and foremost, La bocca del luppo is the story of Enzo and Marie. Enzo, the repeat offender, has spent 27 years in prison, and Mary, the transsexual, has tirelessly waited for him. It is also a portrait of a dark and mysterious Genoa, straddling fiction and documentary, cinéma direct, staging and archives. Finally, it’s the invention of a form that transcends all genres.
Director
Pietro Marcello was born in Caserta, Campania, in 1976. He first studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. Self-taught, he made his debut as part of "participatory videos" shot in the prisons where he teaches, and as assistant director for Leonardo Di Costanzo's documentary Gennarino .
