Synopsis
Dillinger Is Dead (Dillinger è morto, 1969) is an Italian drama by Marco Ferreri you can watch online on iFILM. It unfolds across a single night in a single apartment: a weary designer of industrial gas masks comes home, his wife is asleep, dinner has gone cold, and he decides to cook his own meal instead.
Digging through the kitchen drawers, he turns up an old revolver wrapped in a yellowed newspaper that carries a story about gangster John Dillinger. From there the film barely speaks: he cleans the gun, paints it red, simmers an elaborate sauce, watches home movies, drifts from room to room. The camera trails Michel Piccoli step by step as ordinary domestic ritual tightens toward a quiet detonation. Ferreri delivers one of the strangest studies of bourgeois boredom and alienation in 1960s European cinema — slow, hypnotic and deliberately not for everyone. Best suited to viewers who love auteur art-house and a film with no plot in the usual sense. Stream Dillinger Is Dead (1969) online on iFILM.
