After two men are killed on a hunting trip, a lonely professor (Gian Maria Volonté), takes it upon himself to investigate what he believes was not a simple honour killing. As his search intensifies, politics and the Church become implicated in a complex conspiracy orchestrated by a powerful criminal organisation. Elio Petri’s We Still Kill the Old Way, based on the novel by Leonardo Sciascia, is a tense paranoid thriller that features Volonté in one of his finest performances and a superb score by Luis Bacalov.
