Elio Petri (1929-1982) was one of the most commercially successful
and critically revered Italian directors ever. A cultured
intellectual and a politically committed filmmaker, Petri made
award-winning movies that touched controversial social, religious,
and political themes, such as the Mafia in We Still Kill the Old
Way (1967), police brutality in Investigation of a Citizen Above
Suspicion (1970), and workers' struggles in Lulu the Tool (1971).
His work also explored genre in a thought-provoking and refreshing
manner with a taste for irony and the grotesque: among his best
works are the science fiction satire The 10th Victim (1965), the
ghost story A Quiet Place in the Country (1968), and the grotesque
giallo Todo modo (1976). This book examines Elio Petri's life and
career, and places his work within the social and political context
of postwar Italian culture, politics, and cinema. It includes a
detailed production history and critical analysis of each of his
films, plenty of never-before-seen bits of information recovered
from the Italian ministerial archives, and an in-depth discussion
of the director's unfilmed projects.
