Dillinger e morto / Dillinger Is Dead (1969) DVD9 Criterion Collection
Michel Piccoli stars in a tour-de-force performance as Glauco, and his job alone is filled with fascinating symbolism: he's a maker of designer gas masks. He goes home and finds his pretty blond wife (Anita Pallenberg) in bed. She pops a few pills and is never seen in an upright position again. Dinner is left out for Glauco, but it doesn't interest him and he begins cooking his own meal. While poking around looking for spices (or whatnot), he finds a package. Inside the package is a gun, wrapped in a newspaper. The newspaper's headline is about the death of gangster John Dillinger. Is this Dillinger's gun?
