Fango bollente (Savage Three, 1975)
"Look, it's a question of how we stubbornly believe that a crime must always have a motive: jealousy, money, specific interests... These were all people who, only a moment before, had no intention or interest in killing. We've reached a point where just one wrong word, a bump, a stare, an impoliteness is enough, and we all can become murderers."

What it does have going for it is more brain#Than many of its contemporaries; there are intriguing satirical elements at play here‚ as well as a damning indictment of the escalation in#Mechanisation and automation in the workplace happening in the 70s. There's a halfway clever treatment of disenfranchised workers going on#In the first half‚ but it all sort of gets lost in a general misanthropic nihilistic second half‚ as our three disgruntled workers engage#In more and more depraved horrors. Leading them is Warhol muse Dallesandro (who also has a lengthy interview on Arrows blu; he's an#Interesting man to say the least) whilst heading up the forces of 'good' (because the police are clearly shown to be nearly as amoral and#Disinterested as the villains) is genuine Italian acting legend Salerno; both are brilliant‚ in very different‚ very clever performances.#Mostly this is very fun in a dark sort of way‚ but I have to raise issue with a repeated mantra of the film: what if a normal person one#Day snapped and started to commit crimes. The idea of 'normal person' is disturbing and anyone is capable of committing a crime as long as#The definition of crime is something malleable and out of most people's control. Idk it's just a worrying facet of these films‚ ig
