Two new posters for epic tale Baaria have just released.
Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso, Everybody’s Fine, Malèna) directed this grand-scale portrait of life and love over several decades in a small town in Sicily.

In the years before the rise of Mussolini, the family often found themselves working for Don Giacinto (Lollo Franco), a local tycoon who often used his power and position to take advantage of others. Young Peppino Torrenuova senses a profound injustice in the way Don Giacinto treats his elders, and as the years pass the young man becomes a passionate advocate for social change.
Once he grows to be a man, Peppino (Francesco Scianna) falls in love with beautiful Mannina (Margareth Made) and they get married, starting a family of their own over the objections of Mannia’s parents,...
