Bandits of Orgosolo

An already hardscrabble existence for Sardinian shepherd Michele (Michele Cossu) worsened after a pack of bandits passed through his land... and the local authorities found him complicit in their murder of a policeman. Fleeing into the mountains with his younger brother and their flock, the trip would have disastrous consequences and an ironic conclusion, in this remarkable and ripe-for-rediscovery realist effort from documentarian Vittorio de Seta. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles.
