I remember seeing a trailer of this film in which there were images of a lot of men being shot, the protagonist and.. a knight riding his horse (or at least some guy on a horse) in slow motion.
Is this correct, is there actually a knight on a horse (a white one if I recall correctly) in this film. And if there is.. is he meant to be allegorical or something? Or is it a dream sequence?
I've seen the movie yesterday and no man on a horse, but a guy driving a motorcycle in slow motion (close up on his face, frontal).
shareThere is footage of a man on a horse, but it's from a track race. It's actually intercut with the motorcycle ride the other poster mentioned. While Andreotti is urging one of the horses on, we cut to the guys on the motorcycle speeding towards a car to assassinate a politician.
I know you are, you said you are, but what am I?
OK, so nog knight (or Cavallerie as they are called in Italian) then. That's a pity, I was really hoping for a kind of neat visual allegory.
If I want to see Italian knights, I guess I'll just have to watch 'il Mestiere delle Armi' by Ermanno Ormi...
I thought it WAS a neat visual allegory -- introducing us, in ironical fashion, to the sport and "aesthetics" of "hitman politics" in Italy.
