«Il Pataffio», the official trailer of Francesco Lagi’s film competing in Locarno- Corriere TV

Based on the novel of the same name by Luigi Malerba published by Quodlibet, the film is in competition at the Locarno Film Festival 2022 / CorriereTv

In an imagined remote Middle Ages, an unlikely group of soldiers and courtiers led by Marconte Berlocchio and his fresh wife Bernarda, arrives in a distant fiefdom. But that castle is a decrepit place inhabited by peasants not at all willing to be governed. Between profane appetites and sacred languors, ramshackle soldiers and poor people, a story about freedom, hunger, sex and power.
