Excellent Cadavers

EXCELLENT CADAVERS chronicles the recent history of the Mafia and its integral--and seemingly ineradicable--relationship to postwar Italian politics. While in the past the Cosa Nostra used to kill only their own, beginning in the '70s the Mafia began assassinating prosecutors, judges and opponents and thus began producing the "excellent cadavers," as Sicilian writer Leonardo Sciascia called them. "Meticulous and angry." (New York Times) "As horrifying as it is informative." (Hollywood Reporter)
