Oh yes, I like such films. I'll definitely watch it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it.
DeleteI associate Michele Placido with the role of a policeman in the old TV series Octopus.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty much the only role he is famous for, but in last few decades he has been directing a lot.
DeleteI need me some subtitles here, but this does look really good. A lot of beauty and passion in the trailer.
ReplyDeleteI just hope they will emphasize that he was a Fascist.
DeleteHope it will be on Netflix soon. We are watching a German humorous thriller Achtsam Morden... quite a bizarre one.
ReplyDeleteThe bizarre ones are the worst!
