Dillinger Is Dead
Marco Ferreri: Beyond the Absurd
June 9 - 21, 2023
A mix of pop art and existentialist philosophy, Dillinger Is Dead, about the nocturnal wandering of an industrial designer on the brink, is one of Ferreri’s most famous films—and probably his greatest masterpiece.
Glauco (Michel Piccoli), an industrial designer, comes home one evening to find his wife asleep. As he decides to fix something for dinner while watching TV, he notices an old gun…. Dillinger Is Dead is a contemplative and mesmerizing examination of modernity, and the nocturnal wandering of a man who seems to be on the verge of imploding. In this almost dialogue-free but highly political film, the director revisits the alienation of consumer society. A mix of pop art and existentialist philosophy, Dillinger Is Dead is one of Ferreri’s most famous films—and probably his greatest masterpiece.
