Il Traditore (about Tommaso Buscetta)

Watch trailer: Film detailing life of Mafia snitch Tommaso Buscetta competes for the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profil...fia-snitch-tommaso-buscetta-competes-for

Looks interesting, will def check it out when it's available.

I heard it´s one of the best italian movies on the Mafia.

2019 is a good year for mob-movies, apparently. Maybe the trend is returning? Money to be made for movie companies?

Crime genre still is popular because it's part of life.

Very good mafia film Favino is amazing as Buscetta, but the supporting actors are also great like the guy who plays Pippo Calò.

I just saw this film today. Agree with Hollander that Favino gave a great performance. Currently showing in NYC at Film Forum and at the Walter Reade Theater (Lincoln Center)

Had an option to purchase or rent and regret the purchase. Not a bad movie but not a "Palermo/Corleone" mafia movie. Very little around the Corleone characters and purely focused on Buscetta and Contorno emotional struggles. Buscetta is an outright liar and soldier. Purchase Men of Honour by Tim Shawcross who did investigative analysis of Buschetta's movements and the events associated, at the time prior to his arrest. And he did not take enough poison to kill himself. Buscetta committed multiple murders - maybe a double in Miami to cover his tracks - and was up to his neck in drugs; all of which he denies. It's a great read with some history of the Corsicans and Provence mobsters.
