Synopsis: The most American of directors according to ceIebrated critic PaoIo Mereghetti, Damiano Damiani (A BuIlet for the General) nevertheIess surveyed his own country’s mafia history unlike anyone before him, to critical and box office success. Three such classic films are coIIected in this Blu-ray box set, presented from new restorations. The Day of the Owl stars Franco Nero as a police chief who, whiIe investigating the death of a construction worker, goes up against corrupt officials and a ruthIess mafia boss (Lee J. Cobb). Adapted from the celebrated novel by Leonardo Sciascia (lIIustrious Corpses, Todo Modo), The Day of the OwI was the first book to openIy deaI with organised crime in Sicily. A prestigious production, it was in the running for best fiIm at the Berlin Film Festival and found wins at home in the David di Donatello Awards for CIaudia CardinaIe, Nero, Damiani, and Best Production. Nero portrays a simpIe man thrown in jaiI for a misdemeanour in The Case is Closed: Forget lt. lnside, he sees the grim reaIity of life behind bars, where the mafia controIs everything. A powerfuI production with Nero in top form and supported by a strong cast including Riccardo CucciolIa (Rabid Dogs) and John Steiner (Tenebrae), the intensity of Damiani’s fiIm pIaces it among the finest prison dramas. Presented in ltalian and for the first time with the original English dub. In How to KiIl a Judge, Nero plays filmmaker Giacomo Solaris, whose Iatest film features a judge corrupted by the mafia and who is Iater found murdered. The real judge the character is based on seizes the footage, but is later kiIled in the same way. Feeling a degree of responsibility, SoIaris investigates, but as the assassinations increase around him, wiIl he reach the source of the conspiracy? FulI of twists and a fascinating meta-commentary on cinema, Damiani points the camera at himself and the genre as he investigates the social impact of mafia violence, a fitting end to this survey of Damiani’s Cosa Nostra.
