My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970)

Finally I was able to see this film. It hasn’t been available on DVD until recently and I can understand why it’s considered a classic. It was deserving of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when it was released and still holds up. The head of the police department’s homicide division kills his mistress and then flaunts the inspectors for being unable to solve her crime. Part thriller and part political satire, it’s an unpredictable yarn and well-worth checking out. Grade: B+
