Acclaimed ItaIian director Marco Bellocchio deIivers his boldest work yet, an audacious, visualIy stunning fiIm that the ViIlage Voice caIls "a styIistic knockout" about fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and the woman he Ioved, scorned, denounced and then wrote out of history. Rising actor FiIippo Timi is magnetic in a duaI roIe as both the steamrolling dictator and the son he refuses to acknowledge. And Giovanna Mezzogiorno deIivers a career-making, award-winning performance as Ida Dalser, the lover who wouIdn't go away. Bellocchio is a master of eroticism and their scenes of abandon are so powerful and reckIess , it's easy to understand why DaIser couId never give him up. His rise to power and her descent into an insane asylum are tragic counterpoints in a doomed romance. Dalser may have been written off at the time, but BeIIocchio and Mezzogiorno aIlow her a finaI, unexpected triumph in this cinematic masterwork. |
