Todo modo is a rounding-off film in which the filmmaker expresses his hate and his disgust for a ruling class that took Italy to the brink of a chasm, and for whom he imagines an imminent disappearance in a prophetic manner. A metaphorical film, which stages the self-destruction of the Christian Democrats in a sort of extreme ceremony, where the guilty assemble to celebrate their power and their annihilation (from Treccani. Enciclopedia del cinema).
