The Alligator (L’Alligatore) is an unusual TV crime series from Italy. The title is the nickname of our protagonist, Marco (Matteo Martari), a former blues singer fresh from seven years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He and idealistic cohort Max (Gianluca Gobbi), while covertly investigating corporate polluters, accidentally witness a bigger crime, causing him to be framed by some complicit cops, and tortured for refusing to ID Max as the other one who saw them.
All Marco wants is to drink as much Calvados as his system will tolerate and reconnect with his girlfriend, Greta (Valeria Solarino), a sultry club singer. But she’s apparently moved on, and so must he. Marco finds himself entangled in new challenges. His reputation from prison as a resourceful peacemaker leads an attorney to hire him to locate a former inmate client who has disappeared. That leads to a two-episode...

"Whatever he says, don't trust him." Magnolia Pictures has unveiled the official Us trailer for Dogman, the latest Italian drama from acclaimed filmmaker Matteo Garrone. This premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year, where it won the Best Actor award. This gritty "urban western" from Italy tells a (true) story of a homicide committed by a coked-out dog groomer during the late 1980s. The story goes that this guy was just a gentle dog groomer before he got pushed into a much more violent world thanks to the local mobsters. The cast includes Marcello Fonte, Edoardo Pesce, Adamo Dionisi, Francesco Acquaroli, Gianluca Gobbi, Nunzia Schiano, and Alida Baldari Calabria. I saw this at Cannes and loved it, one of my favorite films of the fest (read my full review), and I recommend it - especially for dog lovers and/or fans of contemporary Italian cinema. Opening in Us theaters this April.

Meet the Dogman. The Cannes Film Festival just announced their official line-up today, and included in the competition selection is the latest film from acclaimed Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone.

The cast includes Marcello Fonte, Edoardo Pesce, Adamo Dionisi, Francesco Acquaroli, Gianluca Gobbi, Nunzia Schiano, and Alida Baldari Calabria. This is a fantastic teaser trailer, with some promising footage, I'm definitely intrigued. But I'm most worried for the dogs in this trailer! I hope nothing bad happens to them, so many, they all look nice. Poor dogs. Anyway, this should be a hot contender at Cannes this year. Get your first look. Here's the first official...
