Lucky Luciano. By Michael Sragow. October 21, 2013. Francesco Rosi's brilliantly staged and ... Released in 1973.(Film Forum; July 27). Published in the ...
Francesco Rosi’s brilliantly staged and photographed portrait of the infamous Mob boss, played with brass-knuckles ingratiation by Gian-Maria Volonte. It’s a peculiar political bio-pic. By casting Luciano’s real-life nemesis—the narcotics agent Charles Siragusa—as himself, Rosi hits on a docu-Brecht technique. The linchpin scenes dramatize Mob-government collusion that amounts to Mafiagate (both here and in Italy). In between come Siragusa’s bouts of edifying speechmaking—and his non-pro acting makes them oddly persuasive. In English and Italian. Released in 1973.(Film Forum; July 27)
15. Lucky Luciano - cinema - VPRO Gids
Bevat niet: plot summary
Portret van een van New Yorks beruchtste maffiosi van de hand van Rosi, die eind jaren 40 in de filmwereld terecht kwam als assistent van Luchino Visconti en lang zou blijven werken in de stijl van het naoorlogse Italiaanse neorealisme, maar hier de voorkeur geeft aan een wat gepolijstere stijl. Hij schotelt de kijker een intrigerend maffiadrama voor, dat soms een tikje lastig te volgen, maar toch meer dan de moeite waard is. FBI-agent Siragusa, die Luciano in werkelijkheid arresteerde, speelt hier zichzelf.
