Italian Gangsters – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Renato De Maria creates an unconventional and extremely minimalistic dramatized documentary that explores the most violent thirty-year criminal period of post-war Italy.

The camera’s a ballpoint pen, an imbecile; it’s not worth anything if you don’t have anything to say.

Roberto Rossellini

The language of the image is emotion.

Francesco Rosi

Ogni film, ogni spettacolo, è generalmente politico.

Gian Maria Volonté

Monicelli: The elements of Italian comedy

Senza questi elementi, fame, morte, malattia e miseria noi non potremmo far ridere in Italia.

Mario Monicelli
