Film Stills and Portraits
ILLUSTRIOUS CORPSES
£99.50
Original 10 inch x 8 inch Still of director FRANCESCO ROSI and cinematographer PASQUALINO DE SANTIS directing a scene for their 1976 Thriller ILLUSTRIOUS CORPSES, based on the novel by Leonardo Sciascia.
A detective is assigned to investigate the mysterious murders of some Supreme Court judges. During the investigation he discovers a complot that involves the Italian Communist Party.
The title refers to the surrealist game, Cadavre Exquis, invented by André Breton, in which the participants draw consecutive sections of a figure without seeing what the previous person has drawn, leading to unpredictable results, and is meant to describe the meandering nature of the film with its unpredictable foray into the world of political manipulations, as well as the (“illustrous”) corpses of the murdered judges.
The still is in very good condition. Reverse side blank.
