Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Decades later, Petri's Italian political thriller is just as timely and provocative as it was in 1970, when it won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Stylistically disconnected, but it works because it is absolutely fascinated with the nature of the inspector.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A provocative political thriller that is as troubling today as when it came out in 1970. Maybe more so.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion begins like a giallo, but soon pushes beyond even that genre's outr boundaries, playing like a fever dream.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Unfettered freedom is a source of dismay to the Roman homicide detective... He wants to have limits, he simply doesn't know where they are.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Moderately engrossing parable, crime drama and character study, with rigid political undertones.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
It marks the pinnacle of a lucrative union with Morricone, whose half playful, half deliriously creepy score here is a definite highlight, as well as a Petri's highpoint of collaboration with Gian Maria Volonte, who gives a career best performance.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Its portrait of a loner and his lusts comes up frighteningly fresh, and the whole conceit would collapse without the muscular, rousing presence of Gian Maria Volont in the central role.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
The movie survives beautifully both as an elegant thriller and as a study of the twisted infantilism that shapes the fanatic heart.
Village Voice
Elliott Stein
A potent study of power as pathology.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Volonté is a snarling beast, delivering a masterclass in muscular acting and irrepressible self-belief.
Los Angeles Free Press
John Mahoney
"Investigation" is out of the "Z" school, finishing a bit further down the list in standing, but a proud representative of its class.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
One of the most sardonic, brilliant satires of its era.
