Movie Reviews of Hands Over the City - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: Bare-knuckled punch of reality
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a bare-knuckled movie about politics and development. It takes place in Naples in the 1950s but it could be anywhere and anytime where existing institutions are changing and new economic opportunities are being created. The movie builds to a moral crescendo in the penultimate scene, where a lead character proclaims: "Always, in every society, when things begin to change, someone tries to grab everything he can. Everything he can, without concern for the needs and hopes of the people." It gave me goosebumps. The transfer is excellent, you will not be disappointed.
Summary of Hands Over the City - Criterion Collection
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.Art House & International DVD Video
