Elio Petris We Still Kill the Old Way (1967) is a sharp Italian political crime drama following a professor who investigates the murder of two men in a Sicilian town, uncovering webs of corruption, vendetta, and silence. Blending murder mystery with social critique, Petri turns a small-town whodunit into a study of power, fear, and moral decay in postwar Italy. A key work of Italian political cinema and an early sign of the directors obsession with institutional corruption.

After two men are killed on a hunting trip, a lonely professor (Gian Maria Volonté, The Working Class Goes to Heaven), takes it upon himself to investigate what he believes was not a simple honour killing. As his search intensifies, politics and the Church become implicated in a complex conspiracy orchestrated by a powerful criminal organisation. Elio Petris We Still Kill the Old Way, based on the novel by Leonardo Sciascia (The Day of the Owl), is a tense paranoid thriller that features Volonté in one of his finest performances and a superb score by Luis Bacalov (Django). Winner of awards for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival and Best Actor at the Italian Golden Globes, the film is made available on home video for the first time in the UK.
