Italian political thriller, Illustrious Corpses, plays for one show only on June 19! Based on the novel Equal Danger by famous Racalmuto author, Leonardo Sciascia (1971)!
"The Italian political thriller boasts grown-up filmmaking, of a now unfamiliar strain; it’s ominous, oblique, unrushed, and altogether grave." - The New Yorker
"Francesco Rosi’s film, released in 1974 when Italy feared a coup d’état, remains astute analysis of corruption." - The New York Times, J. Hoberman, 2021
"A dazzling example of fashionably radical Italian filmmaking — elegantly composed, breathlessly paced, photographed in the beautiful, drained colors of a landscape in mourning for the sun." - The New York times, Vincent Canby, 1976
