Plot summary

A documentary concerning the violent Italian 'poliziotteschi' cinematic movement of the 1970s which, at first glance, seem to be rip-offs of American crime films like DIRTY HARRY or THE GODFATHER, but which really address Italian issues like the Sicilian Mafia and red terrorism. Perhaps even more interesting than the films themselves were the rushed methods of production (stars performing their own stunts, stealing shots, no live sound) and the bleed-over between real-life crime and movie crime.

Eurocrime is a fantastic documentary that takes you

Eurocrime is a fantastic documentary that takes you through the history from spaghetti westerns to the crazed gangster films in Italy. The methods the italians used to direct and how the mob had influence on some shoots is fascinating. With the run time of 2hr 17mins, it could've been trimmed down.
