The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s
From Cinema Epoch. Eurocrime! is 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. Features interviews with Franco Nero, John Saxon, Henry Silva, Luc Merenda, Antonio Sabato, Fred Williamson, Richard Harrison, Chris Mitchum, Enzo Castellari, and many more!
