Exclusive: Pierfrancesco Favino on Suburra

0

Suburra is a dark, indelible Italian drama that features a host of reprehensible characters, blurring the line between good and evil. Pierfrancesco Favino, who plays Filippo Malgradi is emblematic of this – and we had the distinct pleasure to sit down with the accomplished actor, to discuss this nuanced, flawed character he’s undertaking.

Suburra is released on June 24th.

Having made it out of Essex alive, aside from the glorious confines of HeyUGuys, Greg can also be found scribbling regularly for Front Row Reviews and many other film-related publications. When not bashing away at a computer, he can also be found occasionally locking horns with the politically diametrically-opposed Jon Gaunt on his radio show, as well as conducting the odd webinar for film schools. Lowlights, thus far, have been the late, great John Hurt admonishing with a 'do you really think like that?', upsetting acclaimed filmmaker Ondi Timoner with his piece for the Sunday Mirror and falling out with the blog editor of the Huffington Post. He also brought Liv Ullmann to tears for a piece for this very site (but in a good way... more of a highlight, that one). He can also be found writing on theatre and music for the Islington Gazette, Ham & High, Hackney Gazette, NME and others. Often found moaning about how tired he is, as well as how frustrated he is – particularly as a musician.
