As Marina Cicogna once remarked, Volonté rarely managed to be a secondary actor; he needed significant roles to fully immerse himself and deliver his best performance. The documentary Volonté: L’uomo dai mille volti, directed by Francesco Zippel – who has previously worked on documentaries about Leone, Friedkin, and Fellini – reconstructs the memorable career of this genius through various interviews and previously unreleased footage.
