Synopsis

Valerio Barigozzi is a low-rank journalist at the Tribuna Sera newspaper, with a desk next to the toilet. However, one day he receives a letter. It contains clues to a serial killer’s horrible crimes. Soon, Barigozzi is exploiting these letters—no matter what human lives the serial killer claims.

Our take

A rare cocktail of nail-biting giallo thrills and acidic satire, Luigi Zampa’s twisty parable uncovers the monsters that hide behind the mask of middle-class respectability. The exploitative tactics of the tabloid press—and the ravenous appetite of a callous public—are skewered in shocking ways.
