	The Criterion Collection: Salvatore Giuliano
		Salvatore Giuliano is set in the mezzogiorno, that southern part of Italy (including Sicily) that has been left on its own to struggle with poverty and exploitation.
		Salvatore Giuliano was initially entitled Sicilia 1943-—1960, a title that reveals the director’s intention to create a portrait of the island, complete with its contradictions and its historical evolution.
		Salvatore Giuliano, the Sicilian bandit whose name was to become the final title of the film, is present only as a corpse in a courtyard in Castelvetrano, or on a slab in a morgue, or even as a figure in a white shirt running up and down the rocky slopes of the Sicilian mountains.

	DVD Savant Review: Salvatore Giuliano
		Francesco Rosi shot Salvatore Giuliano in the same towns and with many of the same people who witnessed its events ten and fifteen years earlier, and he captures a high sense of realism in the images of sun-drenched streets and high mountain passes caught by his distanced, emotionally neutral camera.
		Giuliano helped liberate his country, only to be tracked down as a scapegoat for the general corruption of the government, the police (the carabinieri) and the Mafia bosses - many of whom became politicians after the war.
		Salvatore Giuliano hit Italian audiences in 1962 with a shock of truth no censors could refute, and it invented a new kind of social agitation film that's rarely been done as well.

		Giuliano’s figure, therefore, seems initially to be split, and open to different interpretations and opinions.
		On the one hand, there is the historical Giuliano, born of poor parents in a village overwhelmed by poverty and fear, who tried to mitigate his peoples’ sufferings by smuggling.
		Giuliano’s life, officially, ended in Castelvetrano in 1950, in a gunfight with the security forces, but the truth about the circumstances of his death was disguised: the first “State lie” of Republican Italy.

		And "Salvatore Giuliano" manages to sustain an almost impossible balance of immediacy and reflection: it's such an exciting piece of filmmaking that you might not realize until the end that its dominant tone is contemplative, even melancholy.
		Although ''Salvatore Giuliano'' takes the form of an investigation and teases us with the possibility of dire revelations, it appears not to have occurred to Mr.
		In ''Salvatore Giuliano'' every small mystery breeds another, and then another, until, in the end, the mostly absent title character seems to be no more -- and no less -- than the sum of the questions we have about him: his ambiguity is his truth.

		Salvatore Giuliano himself is almost unseen and his career is recalled in flashbacks after his assassination in 1950.
		In Sicily, Giuliano had the reputation of a man that took from the rich and gave to the poor, but on the mainland he was portrayed as an outlaw.
		It never becomes an idolization of Giuliano as Rosi cleverly only uses close up shots of Giuliano when he is dead and the rest of the shots are from a distance where one can never make out his face.

	dOc DVD Review: Salvatore Giuliano (1961)
		Giuliano is not about to give up power, taking issue with all who seek it: policemen, communists, socialists, carabineiris, mafia—he is at times involved with some, and attacking others.
		Even though Giuliano broke the law, he had an integral hand in shaping the future of Italy, much to the chagrin of those who pursued justice.
		Salvatore Giuliano is a triumph of political and historical filmmaking.

		It looks almost like a documentary as it traces the career and downfall of Salvatore Giuliano, a bandit who became a legend on the island after his violent death in 1950.
		Giuliano is seen as a corpse in the first sequence, with a city official reading a detailed description of his death.
		Giuliano remains a legend throughout; the nearest we get to a conventional figure is his murderer, who emerges from the background only as the film reaches its final stretch.

	Movie Review
		Based on the life of this Sicilian hero, SALVATORE GIULIANO is a movie cowritten and directed by Francesco Rosi in 1961.
		The members of the Sicilian separatist party asked the outlaw Salvatore Giuliano to start a guerrilla warfare against the Italian interests on the island.
		Giuliano and his little army, coming from a very poor part of the island, will kill dozens of policemen.

		The crime, historically blamed on the band of the charismatic bandit Salvatore Giuliano, was previously depicted in Michael Cimino's film The Sicilian, starring Christopher Lambert and John Turturro, which portrayed the rustic renegade as a Sicilian Robin Hood.
		The real Giuliano was killed under mysterious circumstances and a number of alleged accomplices arrested, but officially the mass murder was never solved.
		Giuliano's vocal support of the Sicilian independence movement did not readily fit into the designs of any criminal organisation, political party or Catholic oligarchy.

		Filming in the exact locations and enlisting a cast of native Sicilians once impacted by the real Giuliano, director Francesco Rosi harnessed the facts and myths surrounding the true story of the bandit's death to create a startling exposé of Sicily and the tangled relations between its citizens, the Mafia, and government officials.
		Salvatore Giuliano is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Salvatore Giuliano: The Criterion Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Though not widely screened or celebrated today, Francesco Rosi's Salvatore Giuliano (1961) was something of a sensation when it made the film festival rounds in the early 1960s.
		In between, Giuliano became a Robin Hood-esque folk hero who fought for the common man. But he also was responsible for hundreds of deaths, including (it would appear) the countryside massacre of May Day celebrating communists, for which Giuliano and his men pressed local shepherds into service.
		Eventually, Giuliano would be betrayed by his right-hand man, Gaspare Pisciotta (Frank Wolff), who would later die in prison under mysterious circumstances, further muddying the truth.

		Up until now, the official version of what happened is that these were mafia murders, carried out by the bandit Salvatore Giuliano.
		The killers, according to Benvenuti, could have been the bandit Salvatore Ferreri’s army, which had infiltrated into Inspector Messana’s group using mortars and sharpshooters, former members of Junio Valerio Borghese’s X Mas, led by Gaspare Pisciotta and San Giuseppe Jato’s mafia men.
		Before Dolci died I made him a promise that the victims of Portella would have the retribution that the State never gave them, given that it continues to portray the massacre as the work of bandits and nothing to do with politics.

	Rosi Francesco: Salvatore Giuliano
		The grandfather of the investigative fiction genre — which saw its greatest popularity in the Seventies and Eighties — the film tells the story of the bandit Salvatore Giuliano, a proponent of Sicilian separatism and controversial folk hero.
		But when the movement is dissolved, abandoned by his allies and surrounded by only his most faithful followers, Giuliano returns to banditry, and commits a series of terrible crimes, culminating in the Portella della Ginestra massacre, in which eleven people lose their lives and a further thirty-three are seriously injured.
		In a short time, every man close to the bandit is captured or killed, until, on 5 July 1950, he is himself found dead in front of a house in Castel Vetrano.

		The official version provided by the authorities was that Giuliano had been killed in a shoot-out with police but this didn't tally with local residents who claimed to have heard only three shots.
		Some time later Giuliano's cousin and lieutenant, Gaspare Pisciotta, declared in court that he had shot Giuliano while the bandit was asleep as part of a secret deal with the police.
		Salvatore Giuliano thus became the first of Rosi's "cine-inchieste", what he characterised as not "documentary" but documented films.

		Salvatore Guiliano feels like a missed opportunity and little more than an exercise in film form masturbation from Francesco Rosi.
		Despite a few good scenes (the mass arrest of the male population of Montelepre, the immediate aftermath of Giuliano's death), it almost seems as if the contradictions in Giuliano's story dictate it should best be told by an outsider with no political axe to grind.
		There is also a vintage newsreel from 1950, and from the actual real photographs of Giuliano and the sicilian village, you could see how realistic was the film set.

		Guilty of having killed a Carabineer, Giuliano hides in the bare countryside of the island where he organizes a band of outlaws to enlist among the ranks of the Separatist Army.
		Once the movement is dispersed, abandoned by his allies and alone with his faithful devotees, Giuliano goes back to his brigandage, soiling his hands with many foul deeds that culminate in the massacre of Portella della Ginestra where eleven people loose their lives and thirty-three are badly injured.
		With Salvatore Giuliano (1961), he reached his artistic maturity and was able to shape a lyrical space into a docu-film about one of the most foul affairs of Italian history of the Twentieth century.
