Dopo 20 anni ad ascoltare la colonna sonora ora so anche che ci sono delle immagini allegate.

chi detiene autorità può manipolare la realtà fino a rendere invisibile la propria colpa.

What an insane movie. This was sorta a blind watch because I only knew this was satire. I didn’t think I would like it because it was but I thought it was great. The acting from Gian Maria Volonté was next level. Definitely Oscar level. The ending was also good. The only thing I could complain about was some parts of the middle was hard to go through but everything else was great. Definitely worth watching.
