Never one to shy away from controversial subject matter, the veteran Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio (Fists in the Pocket, The Conviction) here brings to life an unbelievable true story lifted from the pages of a shocking and horrifying history.With Kidnapped, the Palme d’Or-winning director creates a gripping portrait of a small Jewish community in turmoil, at the mercy of a hostile and all-powerful theocracy. The film unfolds like a historical fresco, or a Caravaggio come to life, as Bellocchio brings a problematic part of his nation’s past to the screen, which stands as a testament to the perennial need, and the courage it requires, to resist totalitarianism.The film screening will be in Italian with English subtitles.
