Investigation of a citizen above suspicion
Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto (Motion picture)
1 videodisc (115 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in.
Elio Petri's acclaimed Oscar-winning thriller. Petri maintains a tricky balance between absurdity and realism in telling the Kafkaesque tale of a Roman police inspector investigating a heinous crime-which he committed himself. Both a penetrating character study and a disturbing commentary on the draconian crackdowns by the Italian government in the late 1960s and early '70s, Petri's kinetic portrait of surreal bureaucracy is a perversely pleasurable rendering of controlled chaos.
