"By all means"),[a] also known in English as One Way or Another, is a 1976 Italian satirical[4] political drama film directed by Elio Petri starring Gian Maria Volonté and Marcello Mastroianni.

The retreat acts as an atonement for their past crimes of corruption and unethical practices, and a renewal of the party's structure, leaders, and interests in order to maintain power in the country.

Filmed during the Years of Lead and following Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) and The Working Class Goes to Heaven (1971), Todo Modo, inspired by the novel of the same title by Leonardo Sciascia, is often described as a grotesque farce.

Its claustrophobic feel, owing to the film largely taking place in an underground brutalist building resembling a prison, serves to create a parody of the political-managerial class of the Christian Democrats.

Petri biographers Federico Bacci, Nicola Guarneri and Stefano Leone write that the film is a portrait of the "deviant" mental structure of the Christian Democrats.

Petri decided to discard Mingus' music after, in the initial editing phase, Renzo Arbore, Mariangela Melato's partner, listened to the soundtrack.
