Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Italy's 'Years of Lead,' the film mirrors real far-right paramilitary conspiracies like the Borghese coup attempt that terrified the public just years earlier.
Martino shot this back-to-back with 'The Suspicious Death of a Minor' using overlapping cast and crew to stretch his lira.
