A civil servant takes revenge on the killer of his son.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mario Monicelli's black comedy turns into a grim tragedy as a petty clerk takes revenge for his son's death. Alberto Sordi is astonishing in a bitter, disturbing portrait of mediocrity and violence.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
