Yesterday the presentation of the book “Violent Italy. Italian Crime Cinema”, a volume co-published by the Festival and the Basque Film Archive that accompanies the retrospective programmed for the 72nd San Sebastián Film Festival, took place at the Press Club in the Kursaal. The author of the book, Felipe Cabrerizo was present at the event accompanied by Quim Casas, a member of the Festival selection committee and author of the prologue to the work, and by Franco Nero, an iconic figure of the Italian poliziesco genre and the star of The day of the owl, one of the films included in the cycle whose screening was presented by the actor himself last Monday.
Quim Casas presented the event by mentioning that the Violent Italy retrospective “aims to provide a broad overview of Italian crime cinema and not only of poliziesco cinema itself. In this cycle we wanted to recover films that have been overshadowed and even tarnished by their treatment of violence”. For his part, Felipe Cabrerizo felt it was well worth stressing that the most important aspect of his research was “to highlight the ability that Italian cinema has always shown to take the pulse of the social reality of its time”.
