Mastroianni at his peak...
“The Assassin” was released shortly after Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” and Antonioni’s “La Notte.” Directed by Elio Petri, “The Assassin” stars Marcello Mastroianni as dandyish thirty-something antiques dealer Alfredo Martelli, arrested on suspicion of murdering his older, wealthier lover Adalgisa (Micheline Presle). But as the increasingly mysterious and unfriendly police investigation proceeds, it becomes less and less important whether Martelli actually committed the crime as his entire lifestyle is essentially put on trial.<br /><br />Petri (“Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion,” “The Tenth Victim”) was one of the most talented, yet underrated Italian directors of the 1960s and 1970s. Highly acclaimed on its original UK release but neglected since, “The Assassin” is a confident debut from one of the cinema’s sharpest observers of Italian social and political realities. Petri said that he wanted to reflect the changes that came about by the early 60s, and to examine “a new generation of upstarts who lacked any kind of moral scruple.”<br /><br />Petri uses flashbacks during Martelli’s incarceration to fill in blanks of his actions in the lead-up to the murder which make us question his guilt. The police tactics depicted appear more suitable to a totalitarian country than to a democratic nation, and the strong-armed techniques incorporated to make Martelli confess are shudder-inducing.<br /><br />Mastroianni’s performance is excellent. We see his self-confidence erode as he is worn down by the exhaustive interrogation. He is excellent at conveying Martelli’s unwavering egoism. He buys stolen goods from a desperate thief for a small sum, selling them to his rich clientele for vastly marked-up prices. He drives a drunk to pull an insurance scam which results in tragedy. He tricks a shy maid to remove her clothes by persuading a lecherous friend to pretend to be a doctor. And he treats his mother with disrespect. Though briefly regretful after each instance, he continues to look for weaknesses in people and to take advantage of them.<br /><br />Bonus features on the 2-disc Blu-ray + DVD release include “Elio Petri and L’Assassino,” an  introduction by Italian cinema expert Pasquale Iannone; “Tonino Guerra: A Poet of the Movies,” a documentary about the Italian screenwriter; theatrical trailer; reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork; and a booklet containing new writing on the film Petri’s own critical analysis of 1950s Italian cinema, and a selection of contemporary reviews. The unrated film is in Italian, with English subtitles.
