Thank you, thank you, excellent!! Christmas comes early!!!
Hell yes!
Mattei was a bit like the Italian JFK, both men of progress and hope, both dead in misterious ways.

Unfortunately the colonial system is still working, but I guess it will be over soon, if Russia, Iran, China, … succeed. And they will! 👍👍👍
1;07:54 OMG, they (USSA) did that already back then?!!!!!
I am speechless ….
This movie is indeed a MUST-SEE!
One of the best political movies ever made, up there and above I COMME ICARE (1979) or L’HERITIER.
I place CASO MATTEI in the very same league as QUEIMADA/BURN and LA BATTAGLIA DI ALGERIE by Gilles Pontecorvo.
All these are must-see masterpieces for people, who want to gain insight how the world is run/”managed”, where murder is always an option.
How would Italy look today, if Mattei would not have been murdered?
How would Italy look today, if it hadn’t been managed by sociopaths like Andreotti and Draghi (just to name two)?
