Todo modo is a 1976 Italian drama film directed by Elio Petri.[1] Loosely based on the novel of the same name by Leonardo Sciascia, it is the last of the cinematographic, but also political and ideological union of the director Elio Petri and the actor Gian Maria Volonté, a partnership that contributed to the success of Italian political cinema of the seventies. It represents the portrait of the deviant men of power of the Christian Democrats.[2] The premiere of the film was 30 April 1976.[3]

Made in the same period of Illustrious corpses (1976) by Francesco Rosi, also inspired by a work by Sciascia, Todo modo contributes to the efforts of Italian cinema in questioning the political future of a country in crisis. In 2014 the film was restored thanks to the work of the Bologna Film Library and the National Cinema Museum of Turin.[4]

gollark: Hmm, perhaps if you make it use the most recent likely-true-but-hard-to-prove maths problem somehow...

gollark: The twin prime conjecture, say?

gollark: For "probably TC but very hard to prove", maybe tie it to unsolved maths problems?

gollark: I should append that to the potatOS terms.

gollark: Is it a *copyright* law issue?
