Salvatore Giuliano (The Criterion Collection)
Who murdered Salvatore Giuliano? July 5, 1950-the infamous bandit's  bullet-riddled corpse is found facedown in a courtyard in Castelvetrano, Sicily, a handgun  and rifle by his side. At the age of twenty-seven, Giuliano (Frank Wolff) was then both  Italy's most wanted criminal and most celebrated hero of his day. In this groundbreaking  work of investigative filmmaking, director Francesco Rosi harnesses the facts and myths  surrounding the true story of Giuliano's death, creating a searching and startling exposé  of Sicily and the web of relations between her citizens, the Mafia, the military, and  government officials.
