Taking a look at the films in the Big Guns DVD box set,this was the Italian Crime flick where I knew nothing about the director. Enjoying lazarillo's review,I decided to arm the godfather.
View on the film:
Rubbing Silvano D'Auria's fuzzy Jazz Fusion score (D'Auria's lone credit) over groovy credits, the lone credit from co-writer/(with editor Giulio Berruti) director Nardo Bonomi spins with cinematographer Silvio Fraschetti in giving the Italian Crime genre a trippy twist, as gashes of bright red blood shots are scattered against the abrasive bright colour and crackerjack zoom-ins on low-level criminal hippy Raffica and his girlfriend Sabina try to outplay godfather Carmelo, by stealing his arms shipment in order to sell it themselves.
Sending the crime out to the high seas, Bonomi takes a wonderfully odd detour into the Disaster Movie genre, via stylish wide-shots sailing on Raffica and Sabina taking their criminal winnings out to sea. Standing out thanks to there being no moral authority cop in the main role, the screenplay by Bonomi and Berruti twists the hard-edge Italian Crime beatings into a wicked generational divide between the underhanded, old school Carmelo, and the flamboyantly ruthless Raffica.
Laying on the bed naked multiple times, fittie Erika Blanc gives a excellent turn as Sabrina, thanks to Blanc loading Sabrina's raunchy gaze with a feisty grit shown when taking part in double dealing, as Adolfo Celi's keeps Carmelo delightfully oily when he stretches out his long arm.
