A polite and imposing police officer killed his mistress because of jealousy and insult. He investigated the case casually, and later destroyed the evidence because of his guilty conscience. Since humanity has not been completely wiped out, he confessed the crime in front of strong witnesses. However, all colleagues and officials prevented him from confessing guilt for their own benefit and "perceived persuasively." Under the enlightenment and education of everyone, he finally admitted his "innocence" and proved that he is an "unsuspected citizen."
This is a famous Italian political film in the 1970s. It attacked the fascist style of politics and the crime and corruption inside the police station. The technique was pungent but calm, and the plot was ups and downs. The performance of the hero was even more unforgettable. The film won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1970 and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

    Large sections of dialogue frequently feature close-ups, deliberately revealing flaws, and quite happy political themes. In the age of officers and soldiers killing and arson, a new generation of fascists fanatically worshipped the dictator headed by Mao. What is extremely desperate is that the entire system is completely revolving around Nazi service. In such a dark white terror, how can the people have the power to light a lamp? Replay. This absurd and crazy experiment about centralization and autocracy is indeed worthy of repeated scrutiny. The cult of the leader in the flames is a response to the red consciousness sweeping the world. It is extremely ironic that the new generation, which is incompatible with the government, also unconsciously contributes to the entire barrier. Volonte is too powerful, such a complicated and divided role is very well grasped, there are a few small movements of Hitler, and a few moments as if to see Pope Jude Law. The position of the camera is elegant, treacherous and smooth, and the panoramic scanning, penetrating and flipping are like the omnipotent eye of God (the desire for power).
