The end of Stefano Sollima’s trilogy
In this new film by Stefano Sollima, Pierfrancesco Favino is unrecognizable. Completely bald, devoured by disease, he will lead a last resistance of honor in memory of his friend Daytona and to save Manuel. This is not the first time the actor has filmed with the director, but the thirdAfter ACAB: All cops are bastards in 2012 and Subura in 2015. Slowly it therefore constitutes the conclusion of this informal trilogy centered on Roman crime.
If the story is a priori that of Manuel, Slowly mainly tells that of Daytona and Cammello, retired former gangsters who will be forced to return to the world of crime. The opportunity therefore to see Toni Servillo and Pierfrancesco Favino, two charismatic actors and leading figures of modern and contemporary Italian cinema, in the same particularly detective film. dark and violent. The two actors had filmed together in Confessions in 2016.
