Italy Rod Steiger
Terrific expose of the inner workings of government in Naples, Italy. Pile drivers for a new building cause an adjacent one to collapse, killing several people. Public opinion demands an inquiry which gives the filmmaker Francesco Rosi the chance to show us how the sausage is made. And it isn't pretty.
But the film isn't about Naples or even Italy. It's about corruption and the manipulation of the populace by the ruling class...all geared to the latter's benefit.
Many outstanding scenes...the collapse, group scenes, parliament chaos. This is a study of human nature in a particular context but with universal application. A forgotten treasure.
