Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970)

As Rome quivers under political turbulence, seasoned police inspector Gian Maria Volontè lands a prime assignment: quell the surge of political dissenters. In the midst of this turmoil, he succumbs to a darker urge, savagely taking the life of his married lover, Florinda Bolkan, a captivating and complex masochist. In an ironic twist of fate, Volontè is appointed to spearhead the investigation into the very crime he committed. As he navigates the labyrinth of his self-woven web of deceit, each clue – tantalizingly seeded by Volontè himself – circles back to the unthinkable perpetrator. Will anyone dare to pull the curtain on the truth? Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion enthralls as a scathing indictment of Italian law enforcement and authoritarian brutality, a penetrating exploration of a burgeoning crypto-fascist psyche, and a driving whodunit wrapped in layers of intrigue. The narrative crescendos to a finale punctuated with unanswered questions, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
