Overview
A weak woman in the role of a victim; a rough, brutal man who carries out orders of gruesome murders; a hoarse mafioso; car chases. Pictures and events few have seen in real life but which everyone knows from the world of film. In 2012 the filmmaker Maximilen Van Aertryck was invited to make a film about the feature film Salvo. Extra Material follows recording sessions with the critically acclaimed Italian mafia film, which won awards in Cannes in 2013.
