Hands over the city (original title: Le mani sulla città ) is in black and white twisted Italian - French film by Francesco Rosi from the year 1963 with Rod Steiger and Salvo Randone .

action

The unscrupulous property speculator and MP for the right in the city parliament of Naples , Eduardo Nottola, speculates with cheap properties, which he would like to convert from arable to building land by a resolution of the city in order to realize his huge construction project, the residential complex “Bellavista”. The associated significant increase in the value of the previously cheaply acquired land would make him a rich man. Before that, all that remains to be done is to successfully master the upcoming elections.

When an old building that was not properly secured collapsed next to Nottola's construction site, several residents were buried under the rubble. Two of the house residents are killed and a boy loses both legs. He is then accused of having failed to observe the prescribed safety measures. The political opponents in the city parliament, the left-wing De Vita and Balsamo from the “center”, are trying to put an end to the building lion and bring corruption and bribery to the public. As a result, the press became aware of him. But when the “right-wing party” urged him to withdraw his candidacy before the elections, Nottola unceremoniously went over to the “middle party” and was able to return to the city council. With the voices of the center and the right, he was promoted to the position of senator for construction, and in the end he laid the foundation stone for his mammoth urban project “Bellavista”.

Reviews

"A powerfully designed, committed presentation of social and political problems, which impresses with the openness of the argument."

- Lexicon of international film

“Like a journalist, Rosi presents the results of his own investigative research, documents more than he dramatizes. The characters, many of them amateur actors, are not psychologically selected, but are representatives of a precarious social system. This style went down in film history as a materialistic analysis, as democratic realism. "

- time online

“The political commitment is supported by a successful style will in the form. We recommend."

- Protestant film observer
