A Sardinian peasant is suspected of murder following an encounter with bandits. In order to survive, he has no option but to turn to banditry himself. Winning multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival, Bandits of Orgosolo continues the traditions of Visconti and De Sica yet with his own style and rhythms Vittorio De Seta musters just as much power as the earlier masters. This release includes De Setas remarkable short film programmeThe Lost Worldcomprising his Cannes Film Festival award-winning short film Islands of Fire and others which survey Italys poorest communities. Despite awards and plaudits on release these incredible films only now make their English language debut on home video. Upon release, Bandits moved Martin Scorsese to observe:It was as if De Seta were an anthropologist who spoke with the voice of a poet.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURESDisc 1: New 4K restoration from the original camera negative by The Film Foundation and Cineteca di Bologna at LIm
