Il Boss
Palermo by night. So dark and so dangerous with a nucleus of
persons get ready to betray. A fast story, not bad at all, that close
the trilogy of the "Milieu" by Di Leo (Milan Caliibro 9, La Mala Ordina) moving the story from the north to the south. Another
chapter that is flawless, perfect, tense, interesting and violent at
the right point. Keeps well up the tension from beginning to end and
yet another one of his becoming prime example of "noir" Italian.
At times prophetic, revealing, accuser, Di Leo tells a story in which
the mafia gangs are ready to negotiate and make agreements with each
other and especially with politics.
Paradoxically, this work really came to offend an Italian politician,
Giovanni Gioia, who feel called into question, and even appointed bury
Di Leo then, years later, to withdraw the accusation.
An episodo so small but very significant that reveal how Di Leo was going to touch a sensitive nerve that from there a few years will prove to be sadly real
"Il Boss" has no heroes or villains from the good heart. Here all the
characters are ruthless, negative or corrupt, power-hungry enough to
step on the word of honor. One thing that comes to a climax with the
end of the film in which it appears superimposed the word "Continue"
which makes it more dense and tragic.
The action in "The Boss" explodes from the start giving immediately a
violent accelerated to all: a massacre of a mafia clan brutally
murdered in a cinema during a private screening of a porno movie.
Shortly afterwards another shock with the description of the
Commissioner Torri. A policeman very ambiguous, whose sinister
moves suggest that he is in cahoots with the boss in office, officially
stating to regret the times when the order was established by the clan.
And here described the view, in which all these shady characters give life to climb the power which spares no one.
The cinema-killer movie is called Lanzetta, played by a cold, cynical
Henry Silva (perhaps his best performance) and as a gesture to
revenge the enemy clan kidnap the uninhibited daughter of the boss D'Aniello.
Lanzetta is in
charge of recovering the girl, while Don Corrasco, supreme leader,
working with opponents of diplomacy and the men of law. But dog eat
dog, and through treachery, murder and extermination only one remains
alive. Yet.
Excellent direction, almost equal to the legendary "Milano Calibro 9",
which manages to highlight the pivotal moments, the ambiguity of the
characters and the cruelty of history.
In addition to a masterful Henry Silva in the cast stands out the
figure of Richard Conte, "the chief of chiefs" Carrasco. Conte
notorious actor famous for roles in films like this is known to history
as a rival of the Corleone in "The Godfather". Here his skill generates
a strong character.
Rina D'Aniello is instead played by Antonia Santilli meteor in the
early seventies, beautiful and simple, was elected in 1971 Playmate of
August, unfortunately, played a few films, some decamerotic, soon to
leave the world of entertainment.
Among other names still reported a spectacular cast and Vittorio Caprioli Gianni Garko.
"The Boss" is a true Italian masterpiece and is inspired by the novel
"The Mafioso" by McCurtin from which it departs for the location, the
main character and the ending.
