Do you think Monica Bellucci has done it all? Think again.
“I’ve never done anything like that,” she tells Variety about her role in “Ketticè.” Directed by Giovanni Tortorici, the film premiered at Locarno.
“I was on set in my pajamas with a knife in my hand and slippers on my feet. This woman has abandoned her femininity.”
Set in Palermo in 2012, “Ketticè” follows teenage Giulio who becomes increasingly lost, even after his encounter with a spirited girl named Ketty. So does his mother.
“It was interesting to play this wife and mother who represents the angst and frustration behind the apparent perfection of decaying high society. She’s an unhappy woman, bitter, with a kind of rage, but she has no outlet for it.”
