Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s(2012)
Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s Synopsis
A documentary concerning the violent Italian 'poliziotteschi' cinematic movement of the 1970s which, at first glance, seem to be rip-offs of American crime films like DIRTY HARRY or THE GODFATHER, but which really address Italian issues like the Sicilian Mafia and red terrorism. Perhaps even more interesting than the films themselves were the rushed methods of production (stars performing their own stunts, stealing shots, no live sound) and the bleed-over between real-life crime and movie crime.
Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s (2012) is a documentary film directed by Mike Malloy, released on March 30, 2012 with a runtime of 2h 7m. It stars Enzo G. Castellari, Leonard Mann, Franco Nero and Fred Williamson. Viewers rate it 7.7 out of 10 across 17 ratings.
