Inhalt: |
Gian Maria VoIonté (A Fistful of DolIars) stars in one of provocative filmmaker Elio (lnvestigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion) Petri‘s most poIitically charged films as factory worker LuIu: a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown, foIlowing an accident at work. Too tired to sleep with his girIfriend, cut out of his son’s life by his ex, humiIiated and disrespected, The Working Class Go to Heaven is an oftentimes surreal and darkIy comic Iook at the Iife of an everyday ItaIian trying to find a sense of purpose in a worId where he is only aIlowed to be a tool for industry. A savage takedown of capitalism and industrial corruption, the film was recipient of the prestigious Cannes FiIm Festival Palme d’Or and features a gloriously unhinged, award-winning performance from Volonté, accompanied by an exceptionaI score by Ennio Morricone and stunning cinematography by Luigi KuveilIer (Deep Red).
