and now they keep killing the others.

We come across so many plots,

they prepare one a day.

We've managed to

keep them in check so far.

But this time you've got to

do something fast.

We must wait,..

We can't risk everything

by behaving rashly..

You don't understand.

I'm not saying you pre-empt

their counter-revolution,..

but just inform parliament

or the press.

We can't alarm everyone..

because you have

certain impressions.

What impressions? I have proof.

They're all implicated.

If that's the case, it's no use

discussing it any further.

You must see Amar.

Only the party secretary

can decide.

Amar is like all the others.

In a room of the National Gallery...

a groupe of visitors

discovered two bodies.

The police have now

identified the victims...

Mr Amar, the secretary of

the Communist Party,

and police inspector

Amerigo Rogas.

Both victims were probably shot

with the same weapon,

a gun which Inspector Rogas

was still holding in his hand.

Here's the chief of police's

interpretation

Inspector Rogas had just return

from a very stressful mission...

to find the judges killer,

When he returned to the capital he

showed signs of mental imbalance.

As a result

he was placed on leave.

He was seeing plots everywhere.

and started looking for

non-existent evidence.

Perhaps he thought even the

secretary of the Communist Party...

was part of some

imaginary plot.

He killed him and then

turned the gun on himself.

So it seems we've accepted

their version.

Everything points to him

being the killer.

I don't believe it, I knew Rogas well.

He was no lunatic. There was a plot.

They felt so confident,

they went all the way.

And now they have invented

the ultimate provocation.

A police inspector

kills the party secretary.

Even if that's so,

what do you want?

A civil war?

A confrontation?

No.

But we won't be accomplices.

Incite the people in the square?

This is wh1at they want?

So people will never know

the truth.

Truth is not always revolutionary.

Francesco Rosi

Francesco Rosi (15 November 1922 – 10 January 2015) was an Italian film director. His film The Mattei Affair won the Palme d'Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. Rosi's films, especially those of the 1960s and 1970s, often appeared to have political messages. While the topics for his later films became less politically oriented and more angled toward literature, he continued to direct until 1997, his last film being the Primo Levi book adaptation The Truce. At the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival 13 of his films were screened, in a section reserved for film-makers of outstanding quality and achievement. He received the Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement, accompanied by the screening of his 1962 film Salvatore Giuliano. In 2012 the Venice Biennale awarded Rosi the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. more…
