Time to Kill (1989)

Recommended Posts

Alex Navarro over at Screened.com is currently underway on a year-long write-up feature titled "The Year of the Cage!" it is exactly what you think it is. This week's installation concerned a seemingly unnecessary addition in Cage's IMDB page, a small 80s joint titled Tempo di uccidere (Time to Kill.) Alex shrugged this off as if it were a mere cameo appearance or something else totally not important, but as he dug further and eventually watched the film, the man grew mystified, horrified, and downright confused. Here's the article itself (http://www.screened.com/news/year-of-the-cage-week-11-tempo-di-uccidere-time-to-kill/3550/) It is a fantastic read and clear letter of recommendation for this film to be approached on this podcast, because WHAT THE FUUUCCK.

 

Oh, and here's the only feasible, shockingly accurate, yet poorly worded plot summary for this English Italian film: "1936, Italian army is invading Ethiopia. Lieutenant Silvestri suffering toothache decides to reach the nearest camp hospital. But the lorry has an accident and stop near a rock, so Silvestri continues by walk. On his way he meets and rapes a wonderful young Ethiopian. He also wound her when he shot to a wild animal, and later kills her to avoid further pain. When he finally reaches the hospital, he realizes he gets probably leprosy. Trying to escape from Ethiopia Silvestri will kill again. But surprises aren't still over."

 

If that doesn't win you over, I don't know what will.
