Italy, 1969
Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo
Starring Marlon Brando, Evaristo Márquez, Renato Salvatori
Music by Ennio Morricone
Approx. 119 min. 35mm.


On a Caribbean island in the 1840s, Marlon Brando’s ambiguously-motivated British agent provocateur helps the black slaves in a revolt against their Portuguese overlords. But he returns ten years later — to suppress it. 

Reviews
