Early 80s. Tommaso Buscetta, a member of Cosa Nostra, flees Italy to hide in Brazil. but if there’s one thing you can’t escape, it’s your own history. With The Traitor, Marco Bellocchio has created a wonderful mafia-related fresco. A movie somewhere between The Godfather and Lucky Luciano.


Absorbed in the path he has chosen, Cosa Nostra godfather Tommaso Buscetta is a vain chameleon. Active in both America and Italy, nicknamed the “boss of two worlds”, he is one of the first to have broken the vow of silence by collaborating with judge Falcone. As in a Greek tragedy, the focus here is not just on a traitor but a series of treacherous acts that changed the face of the mafia in the 80s. Bellochio at his best!
