Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title refers to a party game, Cadavres Exquis (Exquisite Corpses) invented by the French Surrealists. Each person in turn would be handed a piece of paper folded accordion fashion so that only one narrow horizontal strip showed at a time. The person would draw a section of a human body but would not know what other people had previously drawn. At the end the paper would be unfolded to show the entire body, which would be a mixture of fat and thin, young and old, male and female, etc. The title therefore means that one is not able to use what happens as any guide to what will happen next.

Featured review
Astounding crime film!
What more can be said? This is one of the finest examples of Italian cinema I have seen. Gripping, intense and thought provoking. Not to mention fantastically acted, directed, edited, shot and produced.
The story revolves around Lino Ventura, Italy's No.1 homicide detective. He is called in onto the case of an assassinated judge and has to piece it together. As the movie proceeds more judges are killed by an unknown party....
What makes this movie shine more than anything is the plot, it's thicker than cement. When you think you have your finger pointed in the right direction, something else pops up and leads you in yet another direction... FANTASTIC!!!
