BACK HISTORY

Colomba Legend: the enigma of appearances

The events inside “Colomba Legend” follow Nelson and Parker , the sons of the homonymous characters, the fulcrum of “Quattro carogne a Malopasso”, 20 years after the death of their fathers.

In the 1989 film Nelson, having returned to his native town of Malopasso, discovers that his parents have been killed and that the only clue at the crime scene is a horseshoe with a P engraved on the metal. The film is not interested in making the investigative process particularly central to the plot and Nelson discovers the identity of the murderer, the fearsome bandit John Parker , almost immediately. After all, who else could have committed such a horrible action if not the powerful gangster who dominates the whole area, terrorizing the population with his own power and cruelty?

Rosario Neri sports a different approach in "Colomba Legend". Bill Nelson Jr. is immediately led to suspect Parker's four children, abandoned at birth in front of a friar's convent, but the question remains whether his assumptions have a truth fund or whether they are instead derived only from his personal prejudices.

Colomba Legend: cast and production

Vito Colomba, former director of "Quattro carogne a Malopasso", returns to try his hand in the role of director after a break of decades. In fact, Colomba has not shot other films since 1989.

For Rosario Neri, on the other hand, "Colomba Legend" represents a deviation from his favorite themes, namely Sicily and all its facets. Among the films Neri worked on, "Erba Celeste" (2016) stands out, the story of a quiet group of people living together in the Sicilian hinterland; "The voice in the eyes" (2017), a film that denounces the bad health of Catania and Messina and " Born in Xibet " (2019), a melancholy look to the past that explores depopulation and the loss of identity.

"Colomba Legend" is distributed by Ahora! Movie.
