Car chase


My DVD had no subtitles, so let's focus on the car chase only : The film alludes, or try to remake or compete with Bullitt (1968), (similar cars, urban hill roads) but it fails. Bullit is far better, the camera is more versatile, intelligent, getting us more involved for example using the FPV (first person view), and zooming in an out quickly, or placing the camera near the ground... this lets the action be more challenging, vivid, realistic. Saitta is a total failure regarding this emblematic sequence. Maybe there is a comic intention here, a sort of parody... it's not clear.
