Apparently more than half of the movie is missing. You could at least check the movies briefly before uploading them. The way it is now, I always get excited when I see some rare flick I've been looking for a long time ulpoaded only to find it incomplete, in wrong language or with commentary.

"Christ Stopped At Eboli" was the most effective piece of anti-Fascist literature to come out in those long 25 years of Mussolini's rule, a chronicle of the difficulties faced by an opponent of the regime who is condemned to years of exile in a remote and very dull small town in the south. It is a sensitive and absorbing book. But it is whole worlds away from Hitler's Holocaust literature, not to mention "The Gulag Archipelago" of communist horrors, and the destruction of people in the name of some classist or racial utopia. These things did not exist under Mussolini. This is why leftists tried to conflate Italian Fascism with Hitler's Nazism--as if they somehow had the same ideological belief system. Some systems (Mussolini and Castro) were exile regimes, while others (Soviet Union, Maoist China, Hitler's Germany) were genocidal.
