Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto

In this 1970 Italian satirical crime thriller, Gian Maria Volonté plays a top police officer who commits a heinous crime, exposes evidence incriminating himself, and then manipulates an investigation to test whether he will be charged. Florinda Bolkan stars as his mistress, whose death he covers up. Through his actions, the film critiques corruption in high office, power abuse, and the paradoxical nature of authority, as seen through the lens of Franz Kafka's philosophy.
