Giulio Brogi , Alida Valli
One of the most successful foreign films shown in Britain this year begins a new season of the best of today's international cinema.
Bertolucci's intriguing mystery concerns a young man who returns to the provincial town where he was born and where his father died a hero. The son's request for details of his father's death meets a surprisingly hostile response-even the men who had been closest to him give a strangely unconvincing account of a Fascist murder. The harder the young man fights the web of intrigue he discovers, the more closely it surrounds him.
Perfectly orchestrated and compelling
