    I re-read the comic this is based on over the weekend and am curious to see what the film version is like. The comic has a real moody atmosphere to it that the trailer suggests is in the film; the story in the comic starts out as a classic mafia hitman/loyalty/family thing but evolves into something else as Peppino's quest for revenge causes him to reflect on his life.

    Can't find any word so far on international release dates; hopefully this gets some sort of a cinema release, at least on the arthouse circuit...

    It has been selected for a fringe competition at Venice, so hopefully it will get an international release
