Front cover of Years Of Lead: Five Classic Italian Crime Thrillers 1973-1977 [Blu-ray Set] | peakbooks.shop
Years Of Lead Blu-ray Set collects five essential poliziotteschi from the height of 1970s Italian crime cinema, restored in High Definition from the original negatives. Set against a backdrop of political corruption, terrorism and social unrest, these hard-hitting thrillers channel the volatility of Italy’s so-called “Years of Lead” into morally complex tales of violence, paranoia and justice pushed to its limits.
 
This three-disc Arrow Video collection brings together:
Savage Three (1975)
Like Rabid Dogs (1976)
Colt 38 Special Squad (1976)
Highway Racer (1977)
No, the Case is Happily Resolved (1973)
 
From sociopathic youth rampages to renegade cops waging war against bureaucracy and corruption, these films reflect a society on edge. Long dismissed as reactionary, the poliziotteschi cycle reveals itself here as a varied and often sharply critical genre — stylish, brutal and politically charged. Featuring cult icons such as Joe Dallesandro, Maurizio Merli, Ivan Rassimov and Enrico Maria Salerno, this set is an essential entry point into Euro-crime cinema.
