    About politicians??...actually nothing fresh subject!!!
    The director Francesco Rosi don't mind over his political position from ultra-left, he made a movie, where he trying to expose the rotten side on political environment, all those prior agreements usually done on backstage, on movie has a city councilman who struggles against this bad behavior to conduct the public interest, without discuss properly by officials channels, all put it on the table, as exposed on the picture those facts took place in 1963 after almost than 60 years after little things changes in this matter worldwide speaking, maybe on Norway, Sweden, Canada, Finland and more few countries this behavior are no longer accepted, all remaining nations continues broadly with same way, maybe some worst, somehow an valuable picture which Rosi has a nerve to touch in the wounds where the politicians pretend that those facts didn't applying to them, actually a few commit those crimes, but certainly they have a clean hands...like in my country.....Brazil!!!
