The Film: Matteo Garrone has been off the radar since scooping plaudits left right and centre for his adaptation of Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah in 2008, but he'll be hoping to return to the spotlight in grand style with media satire, Reality. The film focuses upon a Big Brother-style reality programme, and a man who becomes obsessed with it, going as far as to begin living his life as if he were a participant on the show.

Why We're Excited: Society's obsession with reality television isn't exactly new ground (The Truman Show ploughed a similar furrow some 14 years ago), but we're excited to see how Garrone handles what promises to be a drastic change of pace from the grimy and gritty Gomorrah. Billed as a comedy, we'll be looking for a lightness of touch understandably lacking from the heavy subject material of his previous film.
