Biography
[edit | edit source]After having directed more than a hundred video clips, for singers such as Piotta, Alex Britti, Mietta, Mariella Nava and Max Pezzali[1] and after their first unfortunate experience behind the camera with Zora the Vampire, the Manetti Bros. direct a small-budget thriller film, set mostly in an elevator: Floor 17. Most of the cast of that film worked once again with the brothers on the TV series L'ispettore Coliandro, based on the stories by Carlo Lucarelli: the series is a success and has been renewed for seven seasons.[2]
In the 2010s the brothers directed their two most celebrated films, both set in Naples: Song'e Napule, a comical tribute to the 1970s poliziotteschi, screened at the 2013 Rome Film Festival,[3] and Love and Bullets, a musical comedy presented at the 2017 Venice Film Festival.[4] Both movies received critical acclaim and the latter won the David di Donatello Award for Best Picture.[5]
In 2020, they wrote and directed the film adaptation of comics series Diabolik, starring Luca Marinelli as the title character, and co-starring Miriam Leone and Valerio Mastandrea as Eva Kant and Inspector Ginko respectively.[6] The film was scheduled to be released on 31 December 2020,[7] and then postponed to 16 December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.
