About Murder Commited in a Sly and Cruel Manner and from Low Motives
An eminent Belgrade physician is found murdered. The investigation reveals dark side of his character - illegal abortions and abuse of his wife. The wife's lover becomes the prime suspect. The newspaper reporter, however, starts his own investigation. Besides being a crime story, this movie in quasi-documentary fashion presents alternative cultural scene of Belgrade in late sixties.
Directed by Žika Mitrović, Murder Commited in a Sly and Cruel Manner and from Low Motives leans on a strong ensemble — Mihailo 'Miša' Janketić, Irena Prosen, Zoran Milosavljević — 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 thriller titles of 1969.
