Campogiani’s Il nostro uomo an inter-ethnic cop drama
Il nostro uomo (“Our Man”) is the working title of the drama by Marco Campogiani – making his directorial debut after having scripted Claudio Antonini’s Liscio in 2007 – shooting on which kicked off this week in Turin.
Production there will last five weeks, with support from the Turin Piedmont Film Commission, before moving to Tunisia. The cast features Ennio Fantastichini, Paolo Briguglia, Ahmed Hafiene, Camilla Filippi, Samya Abbary and Anis Garbi.
The film, co-written by Campogiani and Giovanni De Feo and produced by Toma Cinematografica with RAI Cinema, is the story of two very different policeman who must watch an Arab accused of terrorism. Over time, a bond grows between the three, almost a friendship, but a shadow of doubt clouds their relationship. After numerous plot twists in both Italy and Tunisia, the three come to realise that a simple search for truth and mutual understanding will lead only to ambiguity and suspicion.
