Salvatore Giuliano

Directed by Francesco Rosi

Produced by Vides Cinematografica, Galatea Film

A grim, intellectually rigorous investigation into the death of a legendary Sicilian bandit that resists easy answers about heroism, corruption, and mortality.

Sicilian bandit Salvatore Giuliano's bullet-riddled corpse is found facedown in a courtyard in Castelvetrano, a handgun and rifle by his side. Local and international press descend upon the scene, hoping to crack open the true story behind the death of this young man, who, at the age of twenty-seven, had already become Italy’s most wanted criminal and celebrated hero.
