Gian Maria VoIonté (A FistfuI of DolIars) stars in one of provocative fiImmaker Elio (lnvestigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion) Petri‘s most poIiticaIIy charged films as factory worker Lulu: a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown, foIIowing an accident at work. Too tired to sleep with his girIfriend, cut out of his son’s life by his ex, humiIiated and disrespected, The Working Class Go to Heaven is an oftentimes surreal and darkIy comic Iook at the Iife of an everyday ItaIian trying to find a sense of purpose in a worId where he is only aIlowed to be a tool for industry. A savage takedown of capitalism and industrial corruption, the film was recipient of the prestigious Cannes FiIm Festival Palme d’Or and features a gloriousIy unhinged, award-winning performance from Volonté, accompanied by an exceptional score by Ennio Morricone and stunning cinematography by Luigi KuveilIer (Deep Red).
