‘The tailor of the mafia’ to be released on May 20, is the director’s first film Graham MooreBest known for winning an Oscar for writing ‘The Imitation Game’ (2014), here writing also with co-writer Johnathan McClainwho also acts as executive producer, a very classic and unusual text ideal for the cast of British superstars Mark Rylance and Simon Russell Beale display a talent that is sometimes lacking in much bigger movies.
Less self-important than Moore’s prestige project, this film is much more stimulating and contained, recalling the great classics of criminal cinema of the 30s and 40spieces that weave stories in medias res, using an exemplary narrative economy to remind us that a good story does not need great exteriors or spectacle, but trust in the viewer and well-written and interpreted texts.
