The Mafia Is No Longer What It Used to Be (Italian: La mafia non è più quella di una volta ) is a 2019 Italian satirical documentary film directed by Franco Maresco. It is intended as a follow-up to Belluscone: A Sicilian Story (2014).[1] It was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 76th Venice International Film Festival.[2] At the Venice Film Festival, the film won the Special Jury Prize.[3]

Synopsis

In 2017, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Capaci and via D'Amelio bombings, where the Sicilian Mafia murdered antimafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, director Franco Maresco wonders what's left of their ideals and struggles in contemporary Sicily, dwelling on its relationship with the Mafia through one of his usually darkly comic "anthropological" documentaries.

While discussing with renewed photographer Letizia Battaglia about the shallow institutionalization of antimafia by Italian politics, Maresco meets again Ciccio Mira, the shady Mafia-apologist concert organizer that four years earlier had been the subject of his documentary Belluscone: surprisingly, Mira seems a changed man, seeking some kind of redemption by organizing a Neomelodic concert in Palermo in tribute of Falcone and Borsellino. However, his words still betray some nostalgia for the "good old Mafia that used to be".[1]
