Artificial Eye will release the sensational Angels Of Evil onto Blu-ray and DVD on 24 October 2011.
Director Michele Placido reunites with his Romanzo Criminale star Kim Rossi Stuart alongside Filippo Timi (The American, Vincere), Moritz Bleibtreu (The Baader Meinhof Complex, Das Experiment) and Paz Vega (Sex and Lucia, Spanglish) in this incredible true life story.
Set in Italy in the 1970’S, Angels Of Evil is the true story of the Italian underworld’s most infamous outlaw. A criminal by age 9, Renato Vallanzasca grew up to become the country’s most notorious mobster before the age of 27.
While Vallanzasca lived by his own professional code of honour - he claimed that he never ‘shot anyone in the back’ - he and his gang took out their enemies and wrested control of the Milan underworld with a string of high profile robberies, kidnappings and murders.
In the process, he captivated a celebrity starved public and earned the nickname ‘il bel Renè’ - for his devilish charm and his handsome face. Arrested multiple times, his daring escapes from prison enraged the government, angered his rivals and fed his legend.
Special features included on both the DVD and Blu-ray release are ‘The Making of Angels of Evil’ featurette, an interview with actor Kim Rossi Stewart, deleted scenes and a theatrical trailer
