The death of Dillinger can be regarded as one of Ferrari's most successful films. The story tells of a man who came home and saw his wife with a migraine lying asleep on the bed. When the film coincides with the actual time of the incident, the audience seems to see the person's daily behavior. He cooks, goes to the garden, watches TV, shows his amateur films, then takes a pistol from a bag wrapped in an old newspaper that reports Dillinger's death, carefully oils the gun, and repairs it. After flirting with the maid, he went into the bedroom and shot his wife to death. Early the next morning he found a job on a yacht bound for Tahiti. Apart from the beginning and mostly imaginary ending, the film's meticulous observation of daily life is fascinating. These observations create a tense atmosphere that has nothing to do with the traditional film drama theory, and gradually reveals the relationship between man and the outside world through the realistic description of the details.
