Marco Bellochio Retrospective
Questions of euthanasia, terrorism, Mussolini and the role of the Church come to the fore, in the most beautiful language in the world.
Overview
Marco Bellochio, one of Italy’s most respected filmmakers, has been fostering critical thought the world over ever since he debuted his first film Fists in the Pocket five decades ago. Known for his creativity and political mind, Bellochio’s films explore grizzly topics in an unexpected, artistic manner.
This month the Australian Centre for the Moving Image hosts a retrospective of Bellocchio’s films, curated by Roberta Ciabarra. The four films to be screened are Dormant Beauty (Bella Addormentata), Bellochio’s latest film that explores both sides of the ever-controversial question of euthanasia, the 2011 director’s cut of 1971's In the Name of the Father (Nel Nome Del Padre) which was first shown at the Venice Film Festival, Vincere and Good Morning, Night (Buongiorno, Notte).
The retrospective is sure to result in some serious soul searching on everything from your stance on euthanasia to why you can't speak Italiano. Get ready to take a long hard look at yourself, bambino.
