My Name Is Vendetta (Il mio nome è vendetta) is a thriller movie directed by Cosimo Gomez starring Alessandro Gassman and Remo Girone.

A film with a classic premise that develops in a coherent way, and in which Alessandro Gassman takes on a role that is reminiscent of a Liam Neeson character, although slightly darker in temperament.

After old enemies kill his family, a former mafia enforcer and his feisty daughter flee to Milan, where they hide out while plotting their revenge.

Movie Review

Here we have a movie that is watchable, it is relatively well produced, but will not be remembered. It has the virtue of maneuvering like a classic thriller, although it never really strikes us as impactful.

These are the star titles set to be touted by the Italian firm at the European Film Market, alongside Romantic Guide to Lost Places. Regina by Alessandro Grande is the new entry in Rai Com’s line-up, a work which the group will be presenting at the 71st Berlinale’s European Film Market (1-5 March) alongside previously presented works Freaks Out and Walking Liberty. Produced by Bianca Film together with Rai Cinema, and distributed by Adler Entertainment Italia, Grande’s debut feature film was the only Italian title to be presented in competition at the 38th Turin Film Festival, which unspooled online at the end of November, last year. The director says he started with the essay by the psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati “Il complesso di Telemaco”, which tackles issues surrounding the absence and death of father figures, to explore the unbreakable bond between 15-year-old Regina (Ginevra Francesconi), who dreams of becoming a singer,...
