The Mouth of the Wolf

Pietro Marcello's elegant, mysterious film tells an epic love story from the ancient Italian port city of Genoa. Underneath his tough skin, the rugged but photogenic Enzo is a kindhearted man who dreams of a home in the country with "puppies, ducks, a pond, an orchard to tend" and Mary, the love of his life. Marcello artfully incorporates a gorgeous array of archival footage from Genoa's rich history, along with some breathtaking modern-day 35mm recreations and a sweeping orchestral score.
