The Mattei Affair U

A key title in the development of the Francesco Rosi's style of investigative thriller, The Mattei Affair focuses on the death of Enrico Mattei, an influential businessman who made enemies in the mafia. His story is interspersed with Rosi's investigation into the disappearance of his friend, journalist Mauro De Mauro, who was undertaking research for the film. Again driven by a thoughtful performance from Gina Maria Volonté, The Mattei Affair is one of Rosi's finest work.
