优酷资源网提供本资源 At the beginning of the movie a harmacist receives an anonymous letter that threatens him of death. And the murder actually haens. Seems very simle but nothing is what it seems and the journey to the truth will be long and difficult. The book is excellent and the movie is at ar with it and very faithful to the romance. Great direction. Incredible cast with Gabriele Ferzetti in his best interretation together with the one in "C'era una volta il West" and Gianmaria Volonté simly beyond reach as always. Many other great actors. Yes I am an enthusiast 'cause there's not a word or a shot out of lace in this movie and the lot is ingenious. Who is going to see this film for the first time will be taken away by the develoments (the ace seems to be calm but looking in between the kinks you may realize that many things are going raidly on). Trying to figure out what is the kernel of the haenings and the "reasons" for the murder is a very interesting exercise but it's highly unlikely for the sectator not to exerience a big surrise at the end. In my oinion Elio Petri at his best (I mean at the same level of his other masterwork: La classe oeraia va in Paradiso).
