Giuseppe Tornatore (born 27 May 1956) is an Italian film director and screenwriter.
Born in Bagheria near Palermo, Tornatore developed an interest in acting and the theatre from at least the age of 16 and put on works by Luigi Pirandello and Eduardo De Filippo.
He worked initially as a freelance photographer. Then, switching to cinema, he made his debut with Le minoranze etniche in Sicilia (The Ethnic Minorities in Sicily), a collaborative documentary film which won a Salerno Festival prize. He then worked for RAI before releasing his first full-length film, Il Camorrista, in 1985. This evoked a positive response from audience and critics alike and Tornatore was awarded the Silver Ribbon for best new director.
Tornatore's best known screen work was released in 1988: 29th Moscow International Film Festival for The Unknown Woman.[2]
Tornatore describes himself as "one who does not believe and who regrets this".[3] His brother, Francesco Tornatore, is a producer.
