#77. Big House

Director: Matteo Garrone
Writer(s): Garrone, Ugo Chiti, Massimo Gaudioso and Maurizio Braucci
Producers: Garrone and Fandago’s Domenico Procacci
Distributor: Rights Available

The Gist: Focusing on the myth of reality shows in our society, this is about a Neapolitan based family who await the news about a their father being selected for a Big Brother type show…(more)

Cast: Claudia Gerini, Ciro Petrone, Nunzia Schiano, Angelica Borghese, Aniello Arena, Loredana Simioli

List Worthy Reasons…: Before his inside look into modern-day crime and corruption (Gomorrah), Matteo Garrone was better known as the helmer of Euro hits The Embalmer and First Love. Hopefully this comedy slash drama will be a biting commentary rather than a Truman Show like concoction.

Release Date/Status?: Cannes is a distinct possibilty since his last film was a Grand Prix winner.
