Salvatore Giuliano (1961)
Director: Francesco Rosi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The film that first brought Rosi international recognition: a masterly semi-documentary about - or rather around - the notorious Sicilian bandit, told in a series of flashbacks taking off from scenes recreating the discovery of his bullet-riddled body in July 1950, his laying-out and burial, and the trial of his associates. If Giuliano himself remains an enigma as the centrepiece of the jigsaw - deliberately so, since Rosi refuses to guess at mysteries - the complex lessons offered by his life and death in terms of Sicilian society and Mafia politics are laid out with exemplary clarity. Stunningly shot in stark black-and-white by Gianni Di Venanzo.Author: TM
