THE TRAITOR Opening at the Cinema Art Theater
Starting on Feb 28, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Traitor,” a biographical crime drama based on the life a Sicilian crime boss who brought down the Cosa Nostra.
In the early 1980’s, an all-out war rages between Sicilian mafia bosses over the heroin trade. Tommaso Buscetta, a made-man, flees to hide out in Brazil. Back home, scores are being settled and Buscetta watches from afar as his sons and brother are killed in Palermo, knowing he may be next. Arrested and extradited to Italy by the Brazilian police, Buscetta makes a decision that will change everything for the Mafia. He decides to meet with Judge Giovanni Falcone and betray the eternal vow he made to the Cosa Nostra. [2019, Italy, 135 min, Rated: R].
Eleanor Ringel Cater of “Saporta Remark (Atlanta)” offers, “It's unlike anything you've seen - or could've made up. And the picture captures it perfectly, with just the right mix of humor and horror.” Diane Carson of “KDHX (St Louis)” says, “The performances and music are superb.”
