2014 · 108 min Crime Documentary
7.5 / 10 · TMDB

A troupe of actors reenacts the pivotal episodes of the infamous 'negotiations' between the Mafia and the Italian state. They embody mobsters, secret service agents, high-ranking officials, magistrates, victims, executioners, Freemasons, the courageously honest, and those whose bravery has its limits. What unfolds is a dense political thriller where every conversation is a potential pact and every witness plays multiple sides. The film meticulously charts the shadowy corridors of power, exposing the blurred lines between organized crime, politics, the Church, and law enforcement in a chilling procedural dance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This film transcends true-crime reenactment to become a gripping, courtroom-style procedural where the audience serves as the jury. Director Sabina Guzzanti offers no easy verdicts, compelling us to scrutinize every pause and gesture, to untangle the web of concessions ourselves.

What lingers after the credits is a profound, unsettling awareness of how institutions can bargain with the very evil they are meant to eradicate. It is a vital antidote to historical amnesia and comforting oversimplification. — MovieFinder Editorial

The stifling, calculated silence of meeting rooms thick with mutual distrust and cold pragmatism.
