THE FIVE DAYS OF MILAN
A.k.a. LE CINQUE GIORNATE. One of director Dario Argento’s least seen, but most entertaining, films shot in the style of THE WILD BUNCH with much blood, violence and comedy. Adriano Celentano and Enzo Cerusico star as two misfits thrown together during a revolution in Italy in 1848. After a series of comedic adventures, they become the best of friends as comedy turns to tragedy, as we see that in life there is no honor among those we believed to be heroes and leaders. A highly enjoyable film packed with odd caricatures and highlighted by some enormously enjoyable humor and eccentric characterizations by the two leads. Argento and writing partner Luigi Cossi’s style was a big change from previous works and can be said to best resemble Dario’s work on ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. Photographed by Luigi Kuveiller.
