Anton Bitel Little White Lies 08/31/2012
a rambunctious, often hilarious trawl through the archives, told with much good humour, but also with careful contextualisation and genuine cultural as well as critical analysis. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 05/23/2021
4/5
Malloy's film works for hardcore fans, but also should function as a taster for novices; there's enough tantalising clips and stories to spark interest in the toughest genre of films ever made. Go to Full Review Roger Smith FILMINK (Australia) 04/24/2015
At times, it does become slightly episodic in its treatment, but at the same time successfully contextualises this all but forgotten period of Italian film history. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture 08/26/2012
3.5/5
This is a scholarly assessment of the cult genre, but also a neat, passionate and informed one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/29/2012 Eurocrime is a fantastic documentary that takes you through the history from spaghetti westerns to the crazed gangster films in Italy. The methods the italians used to direct and how the mob had influence on some shoots is fascinating. With the run time of 2hr 17mins, it could've been trimmed down. See more 08/30/2012 I knew nothing about this genre of films, but after watching this I really want to watch them.
