Amazing performance by Volontè, 17 January 2009
9/10
Author: leomarco67 from Rome, Italy

Excluding any political comment, the performance of G.M. Volontè is simply amazing: the character is explained even with a close-up, expressing what not only a judge but every man should think about so-called undisputed truths... Trying to be anything but superficial trough doubt and curiosity. Maybe "ccthemovieman" were too left-wing or better were too convinced of his opinions once and unfortunately nowadays. He's partially understandable because this movie is deep-seated in Italian culture so is pretty difficult to a foreigner get some light nuances, amplified by the Sicilian environment of the script based on novel of the great Leonardo Sciascia. In my opinion this movie deserves 9 out of 10 stars for the psychological deepening of the characters.

cheers
