Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion. Incredible. I'd only known Volonté as the villain in the first two Dollars films and didn't realise he was that good. There's a great excerpt of Petri discussing the film on French TV on the Criterion Blu-ray too.
I watched a very good Volonte film last night, as it happens: Damiano Damiani’s The Witch. He’s good in almost anything he’s in, but especially in partnership with Petri. He was very choosy about which films he would do.
I think the next one I'll watch will be The Working Class Goes to Heaven when I get round to buying that new Radiance Blu-ray.
I think the LE might be out of stock now so I might have to wait for the standard in May. Did you buy any of the others? Man on the Roof looks good.

Was there a particular reason Volonte never worked with Pasolini?
anyone ever been to the Study Centre on Talgarth Rd?Interesting seeing this pop up on the side of one of the buildings in Inferno. Wonder whether it was put there for the film or whether it's part of the building irl.

Have you read The Conformist? I noticed they had the book in the second hand store the other day but it was quite expensive.
Nah, I didn't know there was one. I hated the film
I bet you feel pretty stupid now Version.It's by Alberto Moravia, one of Italy's most famous postwar novelists.
