Dominican Rep. The Sicilian
1,456
Adventure. Drama
Giuliano robs from the rich conservative landowners to give to the poor, serf-like peasants, who in turn hail him as their savior. As his popularity grows, so does his ego, and he eventually thinks he is above the power of his backer, Mafia Don Masino Croce. The Don, in turn, sets out to kill the upstart by convincing his cousin and closest advisor Gaspare to assassinate him.

"'The Sicilian' represents a botched telling of the life of postwar outlaw leader Salvatore Giuliano" | ||
 |
|
"The dialogue is ponderously poetic, stilted and over-emphatic (...) and both cutting and photography tend towards the bombastic. Folly, then, but gloriously inept and overblown." | ||
|
|
|
"The film is a mess, though hardly on the panoramic scale of 'Heaven's Gate.'" | ||
|
|
|
"This is one of Cimino's best films, with a fine sense of spectacle and landscape." | ||
|
|
|
"One of this film's big problems is that you can hardly see it. The foregrounds are dark and indistinct. The backgrounds are overlit and washed-out. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" | ||

"If Cimino had gone along with the campy nosedive this movie takes, Sicilian could have been to mob films what Blazing Saddles was to westerns." |
