Directed by Abel Ferrara, the script is written by the filmmaker along with Maurizio Braucci. The film had a premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2022.
'Un Milione di Italiani (Non Sono Italiani)' is a musical documentary by Maurizio Braucci on Italy's Ius Soli citizenship law. Fatima Mbengue and Sara Vanderwert, Italian daughters of foreign citizens, sing in the film.
Abel Ferrara's "Padre Pio" features LaBeouf as a tormented priest against the backdrop of rising fascism in post-war Italy. Is his performance just too much, or does he redeem an otherwise clumsy film?
