Tales of fathers and sons are nothing new to movies. It’s all in how you choose to tell this story. For some, it becomes a gritty drama. For others, it becomes a silly comedy. Often, a road trip is involved. Actor turned writer/director James D’Arcy manages to take a tiny bit of all of that, shake it up, and spit out something more than a bit heartwarming with Made in Italy, a mix of comedy and drama that features a winning performance from Liam Neeson. Hitting screens this week, it’ll put a smile on your face and almost assuredly make you long for a trip to Italy (though I’d settle for a trip anywhere these days. Literally anywhere).

"You can't remember her... but I can't forget." Oh my this looks wonderful. IFC Films has debuted the first official trailer for Made in Italy, marking the feature directorial debut of English actor James D'Arcy - who wrote and directed this. The film hasn't premiered at any film festivals, but it will be available to watch on all formats (drive-in + VOD) starting in August.

The film's cast also includes Valeria Bilello, Lindsay Duncan, Marco Quaglial, Gian Marco Tavani, and Helena Antonio. This is much more humorous than expected, but it still looks like it has a great deal of honesty and heart as well. There's a fresh, modern vibe that meshes well with the offbeat comedy.

In 1983, a serial killer claims more than a dozen lives in and around Rome, apparently targeting his victims at random, and then disappears. The killer leaves his signature in blood at each crime scene: “Canepazzo,” or “Crazy Dog.” Thirty years later, Marco Costa (Gian Marco Tavani), the son of one of the victims, interviews Raul Chinna (Marco Bonetti), a retired criminologist. Obsessively pursuing Canepazzo’s decades-cold trail, Costa hopes that he can unearth clues from Chinna’s old investigative files. Who was Crazy Dog, why did he murder Costa’s father, and why did he abruptly end his bloody spree? If he’s still alive, can Marco locate him and avenge his father’s death? Revealing that the man who knew the most about the crimes was a young investigative reporter, David Moiraghi (Giuseppe Schisano), Chinna begins to recount...
