Standout Aspects

Acting

Mastroianni's world-weary commissioner is pure cinematic comfort food.

Direction

Nanni Loy balances satire and genuine melancholy with surgical precision.

Best for:Solo: Late night, wine in hand, pretending you're European.·Rewatch: Catch details you missed while distracted by Mastroianni's face.
Heads up:Violence: That candle explosion is more graphic than you'd expect from 1994 TV.
