The Road to Salina

Here’s an entirely fabulous French / Italian co-production from 1970, directed by Georges Lautner. A kind of perverse (or more perverse) reworking of The Postman Always Rings Twice, it’s the type of film which really reminds me why I love European cinema of the time quite as much as I do. And, as with so many of these kinds of films which bridge the arthouse and the exploitatative, it’s rather fallen through the cracks today, probably better known for it’s ubercool soundtrack (which features on Kill Bill Vol 2) than anything else.
