Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (Italian: Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto) is a 1970 Italian film directed by Elio Petri. It is a satire on corruption in high office, telling the story of a top police officer who kills his lover and believes himself to be above suspicion. In order to test this, he plants obvious clues to see if anyone will dare to accuse him.
The film was highly regarded in its own time, winning the
Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and both the
FIPRESCI Prize and the Grand Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival. Also it won as Best Foreign Language Film at the
Kansas City Film Critics Circle Awards 1971. However, it is less well known today, but it is available on DVD.
