De Keuze van Koolhoven: Fernando di Leo Night

Poster from 2010 of one of the cult movie nights of Martin Koolhoven and myself with a double bill of Milano Calibro 9 (1972) and The Boss (1973) by Italian director Fernando di Leo. He is sometimes called the Italian Jean-Pierre Melville, but actually the Italian Scorsese would be better; Il Boss almost looks like a preview of The Departed. Filmmaker Frans Weisz was present in the audience, so we asked him about Di Leo, because he was a classmate at the film academy in Italy.
