The Cinema of Francesco Rosi

Francesco Rosi is one of the foremost figures in post-war Italian cinema. His films have an epic sweep covering Mafia crime, political corruption and economic mismanagement in Italy since the liberation of the country from Fascism by the Americans in 1944. Filmed in Naples and his home in Rome, Rosi talks about his development as a film-maker with illustrations from 'Salvatore Giuliano', 'Lucky Luciano', 'Hands Over the City', 'Illustrious Corpses', and 'Three Brothers'.
