Synopsis
Angel of Evil (Vallanzasca – Gli angeli del male, 2010) is an Italian-French crime drama directed by Michele Placido that you can watch online on iFILM. Kim Rossi Stuart takes the lead as Renato Vallanzasca, with Moritz Bleibtreu, Paz Vega and Filippo Timi rounding out a strong ensemble. The film charts the rise and repeated captures of the man who became the face of Milan's most feared criminal outfit in the 1970s.
Vallanzasca's first brush with the law came at age nine. By his mid-twenties he commanded the Comasina gang through a decade of bank robberies, kidnappings and shoot-outs with law enforcement across Lombardy. Courts eventually stacked sentences against him totalling over 260 years — a record in Italian legal history. Yet the tabloids treated him more like a pop figure than a murderer, drawn in by his looks and a string of headline-making escapes from multiple prisons. His nickname, il bel Renè, tells you everything about the myth that grew around him.
Placido doesn't build toward a moral verdict — he's more interested in the texture of the era and the mechanics of a life that stayed criminal long after any exit was possible. Dense, propulsive and anchored in the grimy atmosphere of 1970s northern Italy. Stream Angel of Evil (2010) online on iFILM.
