Well, A still seems to be sure that he'll be there. It would be a pity not to have him with us. If I'm joining which isn't sure yet.

Yes, "A Bullet for the General" has also been released by Anchor Bay / Blue Underground some time ago, as well as "How to kill a Judge" which I consider one of Damiani's weakest films, unfortunately. If you're interested in political / social cinema and in italian society and politics (of the 60ies and 70ies) you should check out his films, arsaib. It's a real pity that mostly, only his weaker efforts made their way to the US. If you can, track down "Confessions of a Police Captain" (1971, I believe there are only cheap Pan & Scan-DVDs of it available in the US:-/) and "I am afraid" (1977) which are, in my opinion, his best films and nearly flawless examples for political cinema. Maybe I should open a Thread for Damiani - he's one of my favourites and considering how famous Constantin Costa-Gavras' "Z" (maybe the only film which is somehow similar to his style) is, it's even more unfair how unknown Damiani still is - he certainly would've deserved more attention - no other filmmaker ever dealed with the corrupting Mafia influences on politics and individual persons in Italy, the Terror of the red brigades and facism under Mussolini with such an enormous consequency, energy, anger and ambivalence. Beside two exceptions, all the (12) films he made between 1968 and 1980 had no other topic, it probably was his deadly serious life-task.
