(1972, Italy/France, 87 min) dir Marco Bellocchio, w/ Gian Maria Volonté, Fabio Garriba, Carla Tatò, Jacques Herlin, John Steiner, Corrado Solari, Laura Betti.
A corrupt newspaper editor tries to manipulate an upcoming political election by pinning a recent murder on his leftist opposition. All too timely for today! Il Giornale’s conservative editor-in-chief (Volonté) weaponizes his right-wing news outlet as salacious propaganda in a ruthless maneuver to maintain his fascist grip on power. Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina was restored in 4K in 2024 by Cineteca di Bologna in collaboration with Surf Film, Minerva Pictures and Kavac Film.
