National Review, 27 October 2021. Illustrious Corpses Puts American Political Films to Shame. Why donât we have politically informed film artists? That question is sparked by KINOâs Blu-Ray release of Francesco Rosiâs Illustrious Corpses, from 1976, one of the countless Italian art films made from a political perspective but that transcend politics. In Rosiâs subtly spectacular drama, Inspector Amerigo Rogas (Lino Ventura) investigates the ongoing assassinations of several federal judges (each played by a famous European film star). As one broad-daylight killing follows another, Rogas must consider a number of possibilities behind the mysterious murders. The Mafia? Radical student protesters? Tension builds, and paranoia becomes the only rationalization. Rosi doesnât pretend to have it all figured out, unlike Hollywoodâs current political filmmakers who blame, take sides, and pontificate. The difference comes from the sense of history that weighs on the events of Rosiâs thriller.
