Interview during the 80th edition of Venice International Film Festival with Robert Lorenz, director of the film “In the land of saints and sinners”, and actor Colm Meaney. The movie, premiered in Orizzonti Extra, takes us to Ireland during the 1970s, and tells the story of a hit man that decides to quit killing… until one last crime threatens to reveal his identity.

The film is the third installment in Lorenz’s directorial career, and during his conversation with FRED he reveals that with this particular script he wanted to immerse in a culture different than his. Meaney explains that he has travelled to the Mostra only after the movie was assigned a waiver from SAG-Aftra, in the middle of a strike.

“In the land of saints and sinners” tells the story of a hit man -portrayed by Liam Neeson– who has been killing for years: his victims were also killers and assassins. After one last hit, a girl in his town reveals that she’s being mistreated by his uncle, and despite his initial intentions of quitting his “job”, Neeson’s character decides to help her.
