First Teaser for Joe Wright's Mussolini Series 'M. Son of the Century'

"We are the new. Every era has one." Sky TV has revealed the first teaser trailer for the new series titled M. Son of the Century, a chilling look at the rise of fascism in Italy. This series is set to premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival later this month. Chronicling the rise of power of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in a history of a country that surrendered to dictatorship. It's clearly an examination of how democracy leads to fascism, as is hinted at with this footage in the teaser. Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Antonio Scurati, winner of the Premio Strega. Featuring a techno soundtrack by Tom Rowlands, part of The Chemical Brothers (awesome!!). "You can play with the aesthetics and the form of the piece. The score is going to be this kind of techno score," Wright told Variety. "And the aesthetics are a kind of mashup between '90s rave culture and Man with a Movie Camera [1929 seminal avant-garde doc], a great Ukrainian film. It's Man with a Movie Camera and every gangster movie you've ever seen." Starring Luca Marinelli (The Eight Mountains, Martin Eden) as "M", with Francesco Russo, Barbara Chichiarelli, Benedetta Cimatti, Lorenzo Zurzolo, Gaetano Bruno, Paolo Pierobon. Oh damn this looks VERY good! I'm in. // Continue Reading ›
