Good Morning, Night **** - NEW
Superb political thriller, plucked from reality. As the Terror followed the Revolution in France, so the Red Brigades followed the upheavals of late-1960s European dissent. Veteran director Marco Bellocchio dramatises the 1978 kidnap and murder of Italian ex- premier Aldo Moro, presenting the student-terrorists in all their cold, sober, Robespierrian fanaticism. The world blares its headlines outside, but to the kidnappers it is just a cacophonous failure to understand.
