Pietro Castellitto

The Profile

Italian film director and actor. Son of actor Sergio Castellitto and writer Margaret Mazzantini. Director of ENEA (2023).

ENEA was presented at the Venice Film Festival (2023). Castellitto works as both actor and director.

DeBaser's reviews present ENEA as a divisive but striking second feature by Pietro Castellitto. The film blends crime-story elements with a baroque, satirical portrait of an upper-middle-class Roman family. Critics note unevenness alongside moments of strong direction and memorable sequences. Overall the reception recorded here leans toward appreciation.
