On the eve of the elections, a news case provides the perfect pretext to divert the public’s attention from the real political issues. Bellocchio’s Milan is “a gloomy city, where the revolution has already failed and the strategy of tension is being prepared, between Feltrinelli’s funeral and Msi party’s rallies. And memorable characters and actors emerge: starting with Volonté, who flaunts a luciferous charm and is priceless when he does the semiological analysis of article titles.” (P. Mereghetti) (Cannes Film Festival)
