In a 2010 article in the Daily Beast, Martin Scorsese listed the film as one of the 15 gangster movies that had the most profound effect on him as a writer and director. He cited Mafioso as “one of the best films ever made about Sicily.”]]> http://calitreview.com/24592/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/21921 http://calitreview.com/21921#comments Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:00:21 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=21921 http://calitreview.com/21921/feed 3 http://calitreview.com/19530 http://calitreview.com/19530#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:58:45 +0000 Holly Hunt http://calitreview.com/?p=19530 http://calitreview.com/19530/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/19419 http://calitreview.com/19419#comments Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:01:07 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=19419 http://calitreview.com/19419/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/18605 http://calitreview.com/18605#comments Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:44:39 +0000 Charles J.

After the carnage of trench warfare, sensitive spirits in Europe craved artistic depictions of beautiful bodies, unscathed by shrapnel, and timeless, uncluttered architecture inspired by the Greek and Roman past. Yet, it was not long before this craving for life-affirming art was transformed into the soulless ideology of Mussolini's Fascist Italy and Hitler's Third Reich.]]> http://calitreview.com/11939/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/7732 http://calitreview.com/7732#comments Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:05:28 +0000 Julia Braun Kessler http://calitreview.com/?p=7732 http://calitreview.com/7732/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6016 http://calitreview.com/6016#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:31:35 +0000 Jane Friedman http://calitreview.com/?p=6016 http://calitreview.com/6016/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/5547 http://calitreview.com/5547#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:16:38 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=5547 http://calitreview.com/5547/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/4421 http://calitreview.com/4421#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:24:35 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=4421 http://calitreview.com/4421/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/3792 http://calitreview.com/3792#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:02:18 +0000 David Loftus http://calitreview.com/?p=3792 http://calitreview.com/3792/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/2768 http://calitreview.com/2768#comments Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:39:17 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=2768 http://calitreview.com/2768/feed 7 http://calitreview.com/2664 http://calitreview.com/2664#comments Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:04:38 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=2664 http://calitreview.com/2664/feed 3 http://calitreview.com/2491 http://calitreview.com/2491#comments Wed, 04 Feb 2009 16:22:35 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=2491 http://calitreview.com/2491/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/2118 http://calitreview.com/2118#comments Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:56:14 +0000 David Lida http://calitreview.com/?p=2118 The Classic Italian Cookbook, her first effort, saw the light of day.
