  • Elio Petri – La proprietà non è più un furto aka Property Is No Longer a Theft (1973)

    1971-1980ComedyDramaElio PetriItaly

    Synopsis:
    Money (and private property) is definitely the root of all evil in this eccentric work, the third film in a loose trilogy on “social schizophrenia” that also includes Petri’s Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion and The Working Class Goes to Heaven. Making expressionist use of Brechtian monologues, stylized montage, and character types, this barbed satire concerns a lowly bank clerk (Bucci), literally allergic to money and revolted by its nefarious influence on humanity, who launches a campaign of harassment against a wealthy butcher (Tognazzi), stealing small, insignificant items— but never money—from the man. The victim uses the thefts to make large and fraudulent insurance claims, refusing to finger the thief for fear his own financial improprieties might be exposed.Read More »
