The Wide Blue Road

Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo

Release: 1957
Runtime: 99
Language: Italian w/ English subtitles

Set in a fishing village on Italy's Dalmatian coast, Yves Montand (Jean de Florette) plays Giovanni Squarciò, a rogue fisherman who manages to feed his family by tossing bombs to kill the fish. When a new chief of police puts Squarciò's illegal and dangerous exploits under watch, Montand's unforgettable, complex character must find a way to save his livelihood. THE WIDE BLUE ROAD is the remarkable directing debut of Gillo Pontecorvo, newly restored thanks to efforts by Jonathan Demme, Dustin Hoffman and Milestone Film.
