Buongiorno, Notte
Data: 2003 |
This brave, inventive, and controversial
Italian film from director Marco Bellocchio imagines the events that
followed the kidnapping of Aldo Moro (Roberto Herlitzka), the former Italian
Prime Minister, in 1978. Moro's body was ultimately found in a car boot two
months later, and this film portrays the chaotic weeks in between, as the
blindly ideological young radicals who abducted him (most notably Maya Sansa
in a haunting and ambiguous performance) try to figure out what they have
achieved and what they ought to do next. This poetic, often moving film
explores one of the most important political events in modern Italian
history in a manner that manages to be both even-handed and deeply personal. |
