"With murder-suicide changing into a series of murders, Bellocchio unblinkingly divulges the worst in human nature, namely, how a younger generation sets to annihilate the older one, how handicap is cavalierly gauged as a disposable liability and most astutely, in the case of Augusto, whose saneness betrays his own morally compromised cruelty. After getting wise of Sandro's motive, he simply stays put, nominally regarding it as a joke, but Masé's subtle expression implies that Augusto might not entirely against the dastardly plan, after all, he has all the gainful benefit in the aftermath without being the actual wrongdoer, how many of us could resist such a temptation? At the age of 26, Bellocchio already sets out his stall as a formidable, perspicacious scrutinizer of humanity's dark torrents."
