investigation of a citizen above suspicion (elio petri, 1970)
Thursday, May 18, 2023
This is the thirty-third and final film I have watched in "My Letterboxd Season Challenge 2022-23", "A 33 week long challenge where the goal each week is to watch a previously unseen feature length film from a specified category." This is the 8th annual challenge, and my fourth time participating (my first year can be found at "My Letterboxd Season Challenge 2019-20", the second year at "My Letterboxd Season Challenge 2020-21", and last year at "My Letterboxd Season Challenge 2021-22"). Week 33 is called "LSC Family Week":
This week's challenge is to watch a previously unseen film from either Monsieur Flynn's Movies to See Before Your End Credits list, kurt k's Personal Cannon list, sethenstein's All Time Favorites list, or my own A Hundred or So of My Favorites list.
And so another challenge ends. I'm afraid I can't do the film justice ... it has a confusing structure and I was on the verge of falling asleep (which is on me, not Elio Petri). So I'll have to give it an incomplete and hope to watch it again sometime when I am awake.
From Our Mothers back in September to now, I've seen some good ones and some no-so-good ones. What would a Letterboxd post be without a list:
Best Movie: Earth
Worst Movie: The Killing of Satan
Longest Movie: A Touch of Zen
Shortest Movie: The Smiling Madame Beudet
Most Popular Movie: Ant-Man and the Wasp
Most Obscure Movie: Sign of the Gladiator
Most Highly-Regarded Movie: Apur Sansar
Least Highly-Regarded Movie: Welcome back, The Killing of Satan
I'm already excited about the next Challenge.
