Biography

Grandson of Ruggero Grieco, one of the founders of the Italian Communist Party, Grieco began his movie career as an actor and worked with directors such as Franco Zeffirelli and his two mentors Pier Paolo Pasolini and Bernardo Bertolucci. Pasolini, who wanted Grieco as his assistant director, has been the most important source of inspiration for Grieco.[1]

At the age of 19, he left the actor career and became a film critic for L'Unità.

During his 30s, he started directing documentaries and TV commercials. In 2004 he directed his first feature film Evilenko, starring Malcolm McDowell, while his last film is the 2016 movie La macchinazione, starring Massimo Ranieri as Pier Paolo Pasolini.
