Marcel Martin, International Critics Week (Cannes 1974):
This is the most perfectly Brechtian film to come along in some time. This qualification, unfortunately too often used up, is here in evidence in the treatment of the image and the sound (use of intertitles and of off- screen voice) as well as in the conception of the entire work. The Death of the Flea Circus Director is a kind of political fable.Read More »

VITO AND THE OTHERS is the groundbreaking film which drew international attention to the problem of neglected youth and street crime in poverty-stricken Naples. The film’s opening moments are startling and deeply disturbing. A despairing Rosario has just murdered his wife and daughter at the dinner table on New Year’s Eve. Somehow, Vito quietly convinces his father to drop the gun, spare their lives and call the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime. Ably acted by a large cast of nonprofessional street kids, VITO AND THE OTHERS is a heartrending portrait of innocents without a future.
