The Verdict

The murder of a couple in an Etruscan cemetery, carried out according to the ritual of an ancient deity, triggers the investigation of the case, gradually involving more and more people connected in some way to a famous musician. One of the rare examples of a good detective story in the "Argentinian style," thanks to a carefully crafted screenplay and a cast of good actors.

The murder of a couple in an Etruscan cemetery, carried out according to the ritual of an ancient deity, triggers the investigation of the case, gradually involving more and more people connected in some way to a famous musician. One of the rare examples of a good detective story in the "Argentinian style," thanks to a carefully crafted screenplay and a cast of good actors. The director manages to maintain the suspense throughout the film until the last scene, continuously suggesting a culprit and then exonerating him immediately after. The demonstration that, with a few happy inspirations, one can make a thriller with horror elements, without falling into the banal.
