This version of Eisenstein’s aborted Que Viva Mexico is purportedly more of what Eisenstein was working towards than the Upton Sinclair footage which was the only version available prior to this.
Putting it kindly, The Purge seems to have been influenced by Straw Dogs.
I had previously misplaced the attached Hobbit review in the Desolation film. After finally seeing it (I know, for shame!) I relocated the fwfr to the finale.
NB: Vittorio De Sica plays the titular General (or at least pretends to be him) in "Il Generale Della Rovere". In "Alexandra" a grandmother visits her Russian soldier grandson at war in Chechnya. Prostitute Filumina pretends to be dying to get the man she loves to marry her in "Marriage Italian Style". In "Alps" a group hire themselves out to grieving people by impersonating the recently deceased. Married Aurora has a passionate affair with Ventura in "Tabu".
