About Chronicle of a Homicide
Roma.During a clash between demonstrating laborers (whose fight the students have joined) a policeman and a student are both killed. The investigating magistrate - in charge of the case with two commissioners - wants to believe to the version of the police: the student was killed by one of the laborers, while the policeman would have been killed by Massimo Trotti.
Directed by Mauro Bolognini, Chronicle of a Homicide leans on a strong ensemble — Massimo Ranieri, Martin Balsam, Valentina Cortese — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1972.
