Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has produced Giovanni Tortorici’s second feature film, ‘Ketticè,’ a coming-of-age drama focusing on young people failed by the education system and adults. The project features Monica Bellucci among its cast.
Guadagnino spoke about the film at a Swiss festival, explaining his decision to produce it. He highlighted what he described as a “sterile” Italian film landscape, suggesting a lack of support for fresh voices and compelling stories. This motivated him to back Tortorici’s project.
The film centers on young individuals who have been let down by schools and adult figures in their lives. Guadagnino, known for films like ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ previously worked with Tortorici as his assistant. The director felt compelled to support Tortorici's vision and bring 'Ketticè' to fruition despite the challenges within the Italian film industry.
