Francesco Rosi
Mike Newell, director of "Dance with a Stranger", introduces Francesco Rosi's portrait of a violent society.

Starring Frank Wolff, Salvo Randone.

Salvatore Giuliano lies dead in a courtyard. The carabinieri claim he was shot on the run, but only one thing seems certain: Giuliano was betrayed. In exposing the complex story of the bandit who came to be mythologised as a modern Robin Hood,
Francesco Rosi lays bare the roots of Sicily's turbulent history since the war, a history still dominated by the Mafia despite strenuous efforts by the state.
