The Italian Connection Blu-ray Raro Video Radiance Manhunt in the City Milan

Description: A poliziottesco with noted influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction! Introducing Raro Video's Limited Edition Blu-ray for The Italian Connection (aka Manhunt in the City and Manhunt in Milan), a 1972 thriller from director Fernando Di Leo (The Boss). In the 1970s the crime film flourished in Italy as the country went through years of political and social unrest, the so-called ‘Years of Lead’. Italian movie producers would capitalise on these times by producing cheap, violent movies about national organised crime and corruption, establishing the genre of the poliziotteschi. One of the most celebrated poliziottesco directors was Fernando Di Leo, a director as concerned with telling entertaining stories as he was with creating socially relevant backdrops. In Di Leo’s The Italian Connection, the New York mob dispatch two hitmen (Henry Silva, The Boss and Woody Strode, Once Upon a Time in the West) to apprehend pimp Luca Canali (Mario Adorf, Milano Calibro 9), who they believe to have stolen a shipment of heroin. The local mob also join the hunt, but despite being outnumbered Luca refuses to go quietly and fights back against his pursuers, leading a thrilling series of chases and shootouts, and a trail of bloody destruction. A noted influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, this is the poliziottesco at its most entertaining and action-packed. 100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS First Class serviceDiscount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemsShips from Las Vegas, USALimited Edition Features:Limited edition booklet with new writing by Italian crime expert Austin FisherLimited edition of 3000 copies Features: 2020 4K restoration of the original negative, presented with Italian and English audio, on Blu-ray for the first time in the UKUncompressed mono PCM audio...And a Tiny Bullet for a Tiny Kitten: A new visual essay by Howard S.
