The picture which sees Pierfrancesco Favino step into the shoes of the mafioso turned police informant Tommaso Buscetta claimed the most coveted Golden Globe at last night’s awards ceremony, which was held at the residence of the British ambassador, Villa Wolkonsky. “With its focus on a highly dramatic character”, explained the journalists from the Association of Foreign Press in Italy who handed Bellocchio his award, “the film offers a compelling and beguiling inside view of [Buscetta’s] psychological torment”, thanks to the “superb” skill shown by the director, who moves from “meticulously chronicling the facts and charting the crimes of the mafia, as seen in the harsh light of day, to conveying the theatricality of the resulting mega trial and the somewhat oneiric nature of the protagonist, without ever compromising on his own ethical code vis-à-vis the world”. The Traitor also won the Globe for Best Score, for which it is indebted to Nicola Piovani.
