GOOD MORNING, MARCO
MARCO Bellocchio's provocative films don't get many screenings in New York, a condition that BAM Rose Cinemas is helping to correct with a mini-retro.
The tribute includes a question-and-answer session with the 64-year-old Italian filmmaker after Saturday's 7 p.m. screening of "Good Morning, Night" (2003).
That's his politically charged drama about the kidnapping and murder of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Red Brigade terrorists in 1978.
Bellocchio's audacious feature debut, "Fists in the Pocket" (1965), unspools Wednesday.
Lou Castel is outstanding as a teenage epileptic driven to obscene acts of violence in a work that BAM film publicist Molly Gross calls "amazing on all levels." Critic Elliott Stein will impart words of wisdom after the 6:50 p.m. showing.
Also in the series, running through March 28, are "My Mother's Smile" (2002), "The Conviction" (1990), "The Prince of Homburg" (1997) and "The Nanny" (1999).
BAM Rose Cinemas is on Lafayette Avenue, off Flatbush Avenue, in Brooklyn; www.bam.org
