Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Dillinger Is Dead (Italian: Dillinger è morto) is a 1969 Italian drama film directed by Marco Ferreri starring Michel Piccoli, Anita Pallenberg and Annie Girardot. It follows a bored, alienated man over the course of one night in his home. The title comes from a newspaper headline featured in the film which proclaims the death of the real life American gangster John Dillinger. In 2008, the film was included in the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."
