(DILLINGER È MORTO, Marco Ferreri, Italy 1969, 90 min., Italian with subtitles 35mm)

A bored industrial designer discovers an old revolver in his home, wrapped in a 1934 newspaper announcing the death of a famous American gangster. He paints the gun with red-and-white polka dots, seduces his maid (Annie Girardot), and contemplates suicide as well as his wife’s murder (Anita Pallenberg). Writer-director Ferreri’s (Le Grande Bouffe, The Last Woman) surreal and symbolic head trip belongs in the tradition of the “theater of the absurd.” Almost never screened in the US, don’t miss your chance to discover this oddball puzzler. New 35mm print!
