The Assassin (Elio Petri) - Blu-ray Forum

Elio Petri's directorial debut: The Assassin.

It should be one of the year's top releases. Should be using the same 2K restoration Carlotta's French release uses, which is beautiful

I won't upgrade my Carlotta, but kudos to arrow for bringing Petri to their Academy label. I can only hope that this won't be the last one.

Never heard of this before but it looks like something I'd enjoy.

Now we need someone to release WE STILL KILL THE OLD WAY and PROPERTY IS NO LONGER A THEFT to complete the trilogy.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion is the first film in director Elio Petri's Trilogy of Neuroses. The other two entries are Lulu the Tool a.k.a. The Working Class Goes to Heaven (1971) and Property Is No Longer a Theft (1973).

I've never seen this one but it looks exquisite. I echo the comments above calling for more Petri - Todo Modo looks very intriguing but isn't on DVD anywhere.
