Sometimes a day in somebody's life can be interesting to watch, only the most artistic filmmakers can explore with their own kind of artistry & entertainment. Even if it makes sense or not from how you see it. Marco Ferreri did with Dillinger Is Dead (1969). Rather telling a simple story about a gas mask designer who tries to make dinner as he ends up discovering what is to be the infamous gangster's gun and plays with his women & watches Spanish trip footage as to recall (with a mysterious ending), he shows us something different that we would not normally watch or understand as it processes - using an oldies soundtrack throughout the whole film for which has minimal dialogue and getting playful with his storytelling. Michel Piccoli is the main highlight of this rare art-house classic because whatever he does during this film is interesting. It is also one of cinema's lost treasures since it was never shown in America until 2008 with surprisingly good acclaim, my reaction to seeing Dillinger Is Dead was pretty good - resulting to say unlike most films have those topics being explored during daytime life. One tune I liked listening to in the film was Patty Pravo's "Qui e là" (meaning "here and then" in Italian), it really has a catchy feel-good beat besides its lyrics dealing with freedom and sounds so sixties because this film was made from the 1960's. Anyway in conclusion, say what you want about the film but it is a surprising discovery for lovers of art-house cinema and would enjoy spending an evening like nothing else.
