Jacurti, actor and writer with directing experience in indie cinema and
theater, engages in a book dedicated to a great director of memorable westerns
such as The Wild Bunch: Sam Peckinpah. The book is a journey between the
weaknesses of a man and the strength of a director of unforgettable films such
as “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” with the participation of Bob Dylan who is
joined by the disturbing “Straw Dosg”, the gloomy “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo
Garcia”, the road movie of a fantastic couple in “Getaway”, the bankrupt Sierra
Charriba that became legend and other films that were often against the tide.
Jacurti draws readers into the parable of an uncomfortable director and his
fight against the Hollywood producers, a precursor who paved the way for the
idea of an independent cinema. Unforgettable sequences and actors entered the
collective imagination, including what could have been and was not with
Fellini, Leone and Peckinpah sitting at the same table, make the book a
volcanic journey that saw "bloody" Sam shooting absolute masterpieces
despite the excesses of a life like Steve McQueen. Foreword by Orietta
Cicchinelli, journalist, writer, co-founder of the newspaper - Metro Italia
