Eurocrime Coming to the Back Alley Film Series.

This week on Trailer Park Tuesday we’re featuring a brilliant new documentary about Italian cinema in the Seventies – EUROCRIME. Eurocrime is playing as part of the Back Alley Film Series ongoing festival of documentaries about the importance of cinema. Check out the trailer to Eurocrime below and then join the BAFS gorillas this Thursday for the screening!

EUROCRIME

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.
