REVIEWS AND PRESS

"A signature love-it-or-hate-it provocation ... 40 years later, the final moments of Dillinger Is Dead can still send an audience startled and scintillated into the night." - Scott Foundas, The Village Voice

"Ferreri's movie remains a loaded gun ... Rarely has the intense task of observing an actor under arrest (psychological and physical) yielded more pleasure and takeaway than with Piccoli’s droll, alienated turn." - Jason Jude Chan, Flavorwire

"[FOUR STARS] ... The titular gangster isn’t the only one who’s dead; according to Ferreri, it was a condition shared by everyone who bought into the late-20th-century ideal of success. They just didn’t know it at the time." - David Fear, Time Out New York

"Considered by enthusiasts to be his first masterpiece, nightmarish 1969 happening Dillinger is Dead could ignite Ferreri’s reputation here in a first U.S. release ... Glauco’s is as dippy and disarming a self-immolation as you’ll find outside Godard’s Pierrot. Long live Dillinger." - Michael Joshua Rowin, The L Magazine

"Equal parts Antonio Gramsci and Monsieur Verdoux ... a cultural critique masquerading as a one-man show." - Max Goldberg, The San Francisco Bay Guardian

"Antic, acidic, surreal and boisterously sexual ... [Ferreri] belongs in the rarefied company of Japan’s Oshima, France’s Blier, and former Yugoslavia’s Makavejev." - Dennis Harvey, SF360.org
