Illustrious Corpses Blu-ray Limited Edition (Radiance Films U.S.) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release January 27, 2026

When a series of Supreme court judges are murdered, inspector Rogas (Lino Ventura, Army of Shadows) is sent to discover the truth. A procedural noir soon turns into a labyrinthine conspiracy thriller as corruption and institutional power converge. An investigative mystery by a titan of the form, Francesco Rosi's (The Mattei Affair) urgent adaptation of Leonardo Sciascia's (The Day of the Owl) novel is set to a haunting score by Piero Piccioni (The Tenth Victim) and features legendary stars Charles Vanel (The Wages of Fear), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) and Fernando Rey (The French Connection)
