| Goodmorning, Night |
A young female terrorist confronts ideology, patriarchy and her own identity in Marco Bellocchio's hallucinatory drama.
A free, richly imaginative rendition of the terrorist kidnapping by the Red Brigades of Christian Democrat Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978, this nightmarish film stays faithful to Bellocchio's artistic creed: the whole unconscious mess of parents and children, desire and identity, memory and loss can never be divorced from public politics.
Especially poignant is the figure of Chiara, emptily miming 'normality' while remembering her own father in Moro.
