Giovanni Tortorici on Working With Monica Bellucci in Luca Guadagnino Produced Film 'Ketticè' Giovanni Tortorici's latest film, "Ketticè," offers a nuanced portrayal of two 16 year old teens navigating the complexities of adolescence in Palermo, Italy.
The coming of age drama is set against the backdrop of social media's early days and Palermo's stagnating politics.
Tortorici employed street casting for most of the film's roles, bringing authenticity to the narrative by allowing local youth to bring their own experiences and struggles to the forefront.
