The Wolf's Mouth
" La Bocco del lupa". A touching tale of an enduring love found in the most improbable of places, Pietro Marcello's award winning docufiction hybrid charts the life and relationship of Enzo and Mary, a couple living in the slums of the Italian city of Genoa. The unlikely romance begins in prison, where Enzo, a macho hardman is serving a long stretch for shooting a police officer. While inside he meets Mary Monaco, a transsexual inmate serving time for prostitution, who works in the laundry repairing clothes. Falling for each other very quickly, Mary promises to wait for Enzo once she gets out of prison. When she is released, Mary finds a home for them to share, but in the meantime, she becomes addicted to heroin. Infused with a celebration for his home city of Genoa, a breathtakingly impressive debut from filmmaker Pietro Marcello.
