(Gli occhi, la bocca) starring
Fading film star Giovanni returns home for his brother's funeral and is promptly drawn into a tangle of deceit and love as he tries to reconcile conflicting loyalties.
Marco Bellocchio caused a furore in Italy with his first film Fists in the Pocket, which was seen as a scurrilous if stylish attack on family life. Its star, Lou Castel , is reunited with Bellocchio in Those Eyes, That Mouth, an ironic, partly autobiographical, reappraisal of the constricting ties of the family and of the past.
Written by MARCO BELLOCCHIO and VINCENZO CERAMI
