Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #128. Stefano Sollima’s Adagio

Date:

Adagio

A quartet of heavyweight Italian actors in Pierfrancesco Favino, Toni Servillo, Valerio Mastandrea, Adriano Giannini were put together for Stefano Sollima‘s next directing gig. Production on Adagio took place last summer and the film actually completes a crime trilogy which began not with a pair of films, but back to back TV series. Written by Stefano Bises, this is a dark story of revenge and redemption shot in Rome. The Apartment’s Lorenzo Mieli (Priscilla) and AlterEgo’s Sollima produce the feature.

Gist: Completing the trilogy that began with “Romanzo Criminale” and “Suburra”, the story idea and screenplay are co-written by Stefano Bises.

Release Date/Prediction: Sollima was at the Venice Film Festival in 2019 with the crime drama television series ZeroZeroZero and he should be back with this portrait.
