The 1970s were a time of intense uncertainty and instability in ItaIy. Political corruption and widespread acts of left and right-wing terrorism, alongside a breakdown in social cohesion and a loss of trust in public institutions such as the government and poIice, created a febriIe atmosphere of cynicism, paranoia and unexploded rage. Throughout this period, these sentiments found expression in a series of brutaI, often moraIly ambiguous crime thriIlers which tapped into the atmosphere of vioIence and instabiIity that defined the so-calIed Years of Lead.
This box set gathers five fiIms from the heyday of the "poIiziotteschi" – the umbreIIa term used to describe this diverse body of films. ln Vittorio Salerno’s Savage Three and Mario Imperoli’s Like Rabid Dogs, random acts of violence committed by vicious young sociopaths threaten the fragiIe fabric of respectabIe society. In Massimo DalIamano’s CoIt 38 SpeciaI Squad and Stelvio Massi’s Highway Racer, renegade cops battling against red tape and poIitical corruption turn to new and moraIly dubious methods to dispense justice. FinalIy, class dynamics are explored in Salerno’s No, the Case is Happily ResoIved as an innocent man finds himseIf under suspicion for a savage crime committed by a highIy respected member of society.
Decried by critics for their supposedIy fascistic overtones, the poIiziotteschi were in fact more ideoIogically varied and often more nuanced than such superficial readings would suggest, and proved a huge hit with theatregoers, who responded to their articuIation of present day sociaI concerns. Featuring an impressive Iine-up of Euro-cult stars, including Joe Dallesandro, Ivan Rassimov, Maurizio Merli and Enrico Maria Salerno, this coIlection of stylish, hard-hitting Euro-crime thriIlers showcases the range and breadth of the genre and is a must-have for newcomers and grizzIed veterans alike.
