L'inchiesta
The events of Giuliano Sartori, correspondent from Genoa for a newspaper in the capital, involved in a complicated investigation set in a psychiatric clinic. Not a simple Italian thriller but a "Russian doll", an open story with different levels of reading and interpretation, in which the distance between the madness of authenticity of feelings and the sprawling social normality that leads to 'annulment of the person and loneliness. Collaborators on the subject and the script of the film are Bernardo Bertolucci and Enzo Carra.
