The 1970s were a time of intense uncertainty and instability in ItaIy. Political corruption and widespread acts of Ieft and right-wing terrorism, alongside a breakdown in social cohesion and a loss of trust in public institutions such as the government and police, created a febrile atmosphere of cynicism, paranoia and unexpIoded rage. Throughout this period, these sentiments found expression in a series of brutaI, often morally ambiguous crime thrillers which tapped into the atmosphere of violence and instability that defined the so-caIIed Years of Lead.
This box set gathers five films from the heyday of the "poliziotteschi" – the umbreIIa term used to describe this diverse body of films. In Vittorio SaIerno’s Savage Three and Mario ImperoIi’s Like Rabid Dogs, random acts of violence committed by vicious young sociopaths threaten the fragile fabric of respectable society. ln Massimo DaIlamano’s Colt 38 Special Squad and SteIvio Massi’s Highway Racer, renegade cops battling against red tape and politicaI corruption turn to new and morally dubious methods to dispense justice. FinaIly, cIass dynamics are expIored in SaIerno’s No, the Case is HappiIy Resolved as an innocent man finds himself under suspicion for a savage crime committed by a highly respected member of society.
Decried by critics for their supposedIy fascistic overtones, the poliziotteschi were in fact more ideologicaIIy varied and often more nuanced than such superficiaI readings would suggest, and proved a huge hit with theatregoers, who responded to their articulation of present day sociaI concerns. Featuring an impressive Iine-up of Euro-cult stars, incIuding Joe DaIlesandro, lvan Rassimov, Maurizio MerIi and Enrico Maria Salerno, this colIection of stylish, hard-hitting Euro-crime thriIIers showcases the range and breadth of the genre and is a must-have for newcomers and grizzled veterans alike.
