The equation of political Fascism with sexual perversion is formula Italian psychologizing (cf. The Damned and The Conformist). But this seamy storyline, about a police chief who experiments with murder in order to test his immunity from the law, plays rather light and clever. And director Elio Petri's agile camerawork and bold cutting create a dreamy ambience of Arabian Nights colors and decors. With Gian Maria Volonte and Florinda Bolkan. (1971) — Duncan Shepherd
