Kill Macaluso
La Ragazza con la Pistola
is an Italian movie directed by Mario Monicelli nel 1968. Assunta (Monica Vitti) leaves her village in Sicily to Scotland in a mission to kill her lover, Vicenzo Macaluso, who refuses to merry her after making love to her. she wants to commit a 'crime of honor'
(a topic in common with the movie
Divorzio all'Italiana
)
in order to save the dignity of her entire family. the contrast between the different cultures, the dialogues and the direction create a comedy which surprisingly
seems very contemporary
. ahead of its time! the movie was nominated for the best foreign film at the
Academy Award in 1968.
