A nearly forgotten near-great movie, with one of Marcello Mastroianni's classic tragicomic performances.

Maybe you wouldn't expect a two hour Italian film about a strike in a Turin textile factory at the end of the 19th century to be especially entertaining. But wait until you see The Organizer.

Arguably one of the great Italian films of the 60s, it cries out for rediscovery.

... lively, funny, chaotic, and appreciative of the foibles and failures of the frustrated collective that hasn’t any faith in their power to extract the smallest of concessions from an employer that... keeps them all in poverty.
