Mario Martone’s Fuori in Running for Cannes Palme d’Or

Cannes: Italian director Mario Martone’s ‘Fuori’ (Out) was named among the contenders for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival by organizers on Thursday. The film stars Valeria Golino in the role of the writer Goliarda Sapienza.

According to Ansa News Agency, Italy also has two representatives in the Un Certain Regard section for movies with unusual styles and non-traditional stories. They are ‘Testa o Croce?’ (Heads or Tails) by Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis, and Francesco Sossai’s road movie ‘Le Citt  di Pianura’ (The Cities on the Plains). Cannes Film Festival Delegate General Thierry Fremaux described ‘Testa o Croce?’ as “an Italian western showing the story of Buffalo Bill”.
