Skådespelare markerar mot våldsamma bioattacken
Skådespelare som Keanu Reeves, John Malkovich, Debra Winger och Richard Gere samt regissörerna Alfonso Cuarón och Guillermo del Toro är några av de som stöttar upp bakom det italienska filmkollektivet Cinema America, skriver The Guardian.
Anledningen är den attack på fyra personer som skedde under en utomhusvisning av Paul Schraders film ”First Reformed” i Rom. Filmen handlar om en protestantisk präst som krisar i tron.
Enligt uppgifter i italiensk media ska en av de misstänkta tillhöra en högerextrem gruppering. Grundaren av filmkollektivet, liksom filmens regissör vänder sig nu emot attacken.
