Hands Over The City (Italian) (Widescreen, Special Edition)

Description

Anchored by a ferocious lead performance from Rod Steiger as a scheming land developer, Francesco Rosi's "Hands Over The City" moves breathlessly from a cataclysmic building collapse to the backroom negotiations of civic leaders vying for power in the City Council election. Plunging headfirst into the politically driven real-estate speculation that has devastated Naples' civilian landscape, "Hands Over The City," which was awarded the Golden Lion at the 1963 Venice Film Festival, remains a blistering work of social realism.
