...gang.) Thus, say Sontag and Poirier, the most important films of the past decade have been the political works of Godard and Rocha, even though these guys are in the baby league as far as politicians go. For my money, the best political film ever made is called Salvatore Giuliano, and was made by an Italian Marxist. Francesco Rosi, in 1962. He was one of the first of his countrymen to reveal the linkages of local corruption in any hardnosed way, while debunking Sicilian outlaw mythology.

Given the least bit of subtlety and finesse, a contemporary retelling of the episode could have been both popular and politically apt.

...poses. The Partibons are on the bottom, but filled with grit and their own brand of gallantry -the gallantry of being their rather idiosyncratic selves. Giorgio's tawny-haired sister Elena, with whom he is spiritually close to incest, drives motorboats and herself at a swamping pace. Brother Giuliano plays cards from morning to night and takes cute tricks to bed. With Chekhovian unconcern, Papa Partibon paints while the roof is sold over his head for mortgages...
