Excellent Cadavers

Italy 2005, 91 minutes
Dir. Marco Turco
In Italian with English subtitles
Genres: Documentary / Gangsters

Aroview: The hush-hush war between Sicily’s mafia and the prosecutors who slept with the fishes is recounted in this fascinating documentary, an ideal companion piece to the grand theatre of THE GODFATHER.

Cynically, this points a finger at the current Italian government’s blind eye towards organised crime. Rare archival footage and the usual slew of interviews with surviving victims completes the bigger picture.
