Matteo Garrone, Reality (2013)

Luciano is a Neapolitan fishmonger who supplements his modest income by pulling off little scams together with his wife Maria. A likeable, entertaining guy, Luciano never misses an opportunity to perform for his customers and countless relatives. One day, his family urges him to try out for Big Brother. In chasing this dream, his perception of reality begins to change…

Winner of the Grand Prix Award and nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

"[Matteo] Garrone offers a glimpse not only of one man but also of the soul of a people." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"A feast of eye candy and broad comic caterwauling." - Kelly Vance, East Bay Express
