Cinema Atlas Connection
Francesco Rosi, especially 'Le mani sulla città', influenced us a lot in the way he combines investigation and drama, using real locations and non-professional actors sometimes to tell a story that feels intensely real and socially relevant. This is very close to our own approach.
