One of the main Italian contemporary cinematic geniuses is Matteo Garrone, a 50 years old director, screenwriter, and producer from Rome. Born and raised in an artistic context, his father is a theater critic and his mother a photographer. His most well-known works are “Estate Romana” (2000) “L’imbalsamatore” (2002), the world-famous “Gomorra” (2008), “Reality” (2012) and the latest acclaimed “Dogman” (2018).

He is a unique talent and his greatest virtue is to have a unique point of view on Italy, with his stories describing hidden dramatic realities and true facts of violence. His special vision is combined with an overall excellent photography and a natural aesthetic sense.
