  Mafioso (re-release) (2007): Reviews
Mafioso explores the regionalisms, preconceptions, and ethnic stereotypes of Italian culture in a witty and often uproarious manner when a slightly foolish factory worker (Sordi) takes his wife on a trip to Italy to meet his Sicilian family.
Mafioso does more than cast its fascinating shadow over "The Godfather." It captures, in a stark yet haunting way, the indelible fact that no man is born a mobster.
Alberto Lattuada's tricky-to-parse Mafioso dates from 1962 but, with its abrupt tonal shifts and disturbing existential premise, this nearly forgotten dark comedy could be the most modern (or at least modernist) movie in town.

If you talk to DJ Mafioso, and you can when you send him an email here, then he's quick to tell you that he tried to do something different with this mixcd.
Or Mafioso puts one Kraftwerk song behind the lyrics of Nas and AZ's "Life's A Bitch (Needle Drop Remix)", that makes AZ sound even more quirky, as the lyrics had to be sped up.
Besided this, Mafioso also shows his skills in bits and pieces collaging on his intro, that runs through a couple of people mentioning his name.

 Mafioso | Reverse Shot
Mafioso, Alberto Lattuada’s rediscovered 1962 treasure slipped by almost unnoticed this past Saturday, and likely it’s because the circumstances surrounding the film’s history aren’t sexy or dramatic.
The film is by a little known director (I hadn’t even heard of Lattuada until having seen this film, though I’m hardly the world’s foremost expert on Italian cinema), whose greatest claim to stateside fame is a protracted, ultimately failed battle with Fellini over authorship credit for their 1950 coproduction Variety Lights.
Mafioso isn’t entirely sympathetic to Antonio’s disposition as cunningly critical of it, revelling in his physical comedy, but lingering long enough on the town’s predicament to suggest there are problems with glorifying his temperament too highly.

 Transcript: Mafioso Bill Bonanno 05/11/99
In my book, which is called "A Mafioso's Story," I have a definition of what a mafioso is -- and it is very simple -- the definition is: one who makes himself respected.
And someone who has the attributes of a mafioso may not belong to a certain organization, or any organization.
The definition I give in the book is to make oneself respected, to be strong enough to avenge yourself for any insult to your person, or any extension of it, and to offer any such insult to your enemies.

 Film Review - Mafioso
To recite the words of my mentor, the noted film critic Andrew Sarris, "Mafioso" is a grossly unappreciated directorial talent.” The movie was given only a limited release in the U.S. in the 1960s, but it's been unseen since.
Alberto Lattuada (1914-2005) was a key figure in the Italian cinema from the 1940s through the 1980s, though he’s perhaps best known in the U.S. for giving Fellini his first directing assignment.
Much of the dialogue in "Mafioso" is spoken in Sicilian dialect, though toned down in order to be understood by the average Italian.

 Mafioso
In class dynamics, Mafioso infiltrates every facet of life, summing up the rudimentary boredom of the man from Milan while not turning a deaf ear to the crimes of the Sicilian assassin.
In Mafioso, the first film about the Mafia, Lattuada shows tremendous facility in blending comedy, tragedy, and pathos in a dark tale about the impact of family visit on a Sicilian from Milan, splendidly played by Alberto Sordi.

 Mafioso | Movie Review | Entertainment Weekly
Mafioso was actually released here briefly in the '60s, so technically it won't qualify for those year-end critics' lists.
Alberto Lattuada, the director of Mafioso, is known for codirecting Federico Fellini's debut film, Variety Lights, and the first half of Mafioso feels a lot like early Fellini — a rambling, slightly precious yet bursting impasto of small-town life.
Nino thinks he's going on a hunting trip, but instead he's shoved into an airplane's cargo hold, packed into a dark crate, and let loose in New York City, which is shot, from startling low angles counterpointed by white-hot blasts of jazz, as a vision of sleek hell.

 The Nick Schager Film Project: Mafioso (1962): B+
Mafioso (1962): B+ Light silliness comfortably coexists with neorealist socio-economic critiques in Mafioso, a largely unseen (at least stateside) 1962 comic gem from Alberto Lattuada, a filmmaker whose international reputation has largely been predicated on his having co-directed Fellini’s Variety Lights.
The era’s notions of machismo and honor are skewered with deft reverence by Lattuada, who crisply addresses relevant issues of national and personal identity while never neglecting his film’s underlying humor.

 Citrus: 'Mafioso mansions' remark irks developer
She said she didn't want four-story buildings on the river - a pointed reference to a development proposal the planning board had considered earlier in the day.
Because DeMaria had spoken out for development rights in the waterfront area earlier, he figured the slur was aimed at him.
Bartell, then, sent a letter to DeMaria backing Knudsen, saying she was speaking about a development issue and not DeMaria or anyone else.
