November 9th: Hands Over the City (Italy/France: Francesco Rosi, 1963)

11/9: 7:30 PM BCTC Auditorium (Room 230, Oswald Building)

Hands Over the City (Italy/France: Francesco Rosi, 1963: 105 mins)

Political film that examines the corrupt schemes that led to the urban devastation of Naples, Italy (one is reminded of the crime ridden urban wastelands of the 2008 Italian film Gomorrah). This film is just as important now for its attempt to examine what happens when money rules politics and how this corruption begins to shape the environments we live in.
