Illustrious Corpses

When a series of Supreme court judges are murdered, inspector Rogas (Lino Ventura, Army of Shadows) is sent to discover the truth. A procedural noir soon turns to a labyrinthine conspiracy in which corruption and institutional power converge. An investigative thriller by a titan of the form, Francesco Rosi (The Mattei Affair) brings Leonardo Sciascia's (The Day of the Owl) novel to the screen with urgent relevance, set to a haunting score by Piero Piccioni (The Tenth Victim) and featuring legendary stars Charles Vanel (The Wages of Fear), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) and Fernando Rey (The French Connection).
