“Salvatore Giuliano, what is this? In July 5th 1950, Sicilian Bandit Salvatore Giuliano's bullet riddled corpse is found face down in a courtyard in Castelvetrano, a handgun rifle by his side. Friend, honestly, if you don't relate to that description immediately with a feeling of extreme desire, you and I are different people.”

Ira Sachs director

“Francesco Rosi, great, great, great filmmaker who should be in the list of Rossellini, Visconti, Fellini, but no one knows Rosi except thanks to the Walter Reade.”
