( a duplicate negative: Notes on gillo pontecorvo. ) (wijmans, 2005 63 minutes) This is a documentary about gillo pontecorvo, the director of the battle of. Psontecorvo became an important military leader as a boy and was very disciplined. The six rules were: never talk about none, learn french, no swearing, love music and to cultivate culture. Pontecorvo was asked to smuggle documents to italy in st. tropez. Pontecorvo wouldn"t be able to make films the way they are if it was not for politics. He loved epic cinema and thought music was fundamental. In fact, he had an idea about what kind of music he would want included in his films, but he would have rather been a composer. Bruno was a young physicist and was close with gillo because they bonded over their love of music. Pontecorvo thought of battle of algiers because he wanted to shoot something realistic.
