UN' ANGUILLA DA 300 MILIONI

Cinemavixion Review

Salvatore Samperi's 1971 film, "Un' Anguilla da 300 milioni," presents a curious premise: an heiress orchestrates her own kidnapping to extort money from her parents, seeking refuge amongst the eel fishermen of the Po River delta. Aided by a small-time smuggler, played by Lino Toffolo, the protagonist, portrayed by Ottavia Piccolo, navigates a world far removed from her privileged upbringing. Mario Adorf also features in this intriguing narrative that blends elements of crime and social commentary within the unique setting of the Italian river delta.
