Trivia
Peppino Impastato was murdered the same day of former President Aldo Moro, May 9, 1978. Because of the ongoing national tragedy, Impastato's story was ignored by the news, and remained pretty much unknown for twenty years, until Marco Tullio Giordana's movie brought it to a wider audience.

A truly amazing and hidden gem

I saw this movie just recently and loved it. I was sort of forced into watching it (I as trying to get my friend to bring out "Alien" instead, but that didn't work), and I found it an amazing experience. The performances are sizzling, especially from the title role of Peppino played by Luigi Lo Cascio. For a mafia film I found there to be an incredibly low amount of violence. If only it hadn't been forgotten, because it is a truly underrated gem. No Godfather, or even Pulp Fiction, but still a heart-warming and powerful film.

Unmissable.
