Italian Film and Discussion with Val Franco - Part 3 - "They Call Me Jeeg"

There's Batman, Superman & all sorts of vigilante superheroes combating crime in America, but Italy has criminals, too, so where's their superhero? Funny you should ask- he's in modern-day Rome, battling the Mafia after a fall into radioactive waters makes him invincible. Join ProfValFranco for a look at this refreshing, witty, often humorous, gritty spin on the saturated superhero genre. Combining genres, Jeeg simultaneously is a vigilante film, an anti-Mafia movie, a superhero romp and a cinematic tour past some of Rome's major landmarks. In Italian with English subtitles.
