Review by Pamela Jahn
This biting murder mystery marks Elio Petri’s increasing politicisation.
Review by Pamela Jahn
Elio Petri’s political thriller is an ambitious amalgam of fascist noir and absurdist satire.
Review by Michael Wojtas
Petri’s foray into experimental horror is best seen as a submersion in a dream that unfolds buried layers of unresolved affairs – emotional, sexual or psychological – to alluring and puzzling effect.
Review by Pamela Jahn
At times it resembles a demented Bond movie where the set designers have taken control, at others it’s like a futuristic offshoot of La Dolce Vita.
