Inspired by an event that actually happened at the end of World War II, Il Brigante tells of the young Calabrian Michele Rende, who became a legendary outlaw when he was unfairly accused of murder. This restored version of Il Brigante from the Cineteca di Bologna puts back nearly 40 minutes of footage not seen since the film’s prize-winning debut at the 1961 Venice Film Festival.
