Justice and Power in Rome

In this episode, we explore Elio Petri’s Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, a searing critique of authority and corruption set in Rome during Italy’s turbulent Years of Lead. Following a high-ranking police official who murders his lover, the film shifts focus from whodunnit to why justice protects power. Through stark Roman landscapes, political allegory, and a hauntingly ambiguous ending, Petri examines the city as both a stage for systemic flaws and a symbol of enduring power. Discover how this masterpiece remains chillingly relevant today
