CloseDir: Marco Bellocchio
Italy / France 2009 125mins subtitled
Cast: Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Filippo Timi
An unusual new perspective on the life of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from Italian film maestro Marco Bellocchio viewed through the eyes of Ida, Il Duce’s mistress-cum-wife, who had a relationship with him through his early years and rise to power.
Vincere is a superbly realised piece of cinema; not just a history lesson, but a tragic and moving story of a woman used and abused by Mussolini, separated from her family and incarcerated because she became an embarrassment to him.
With astonishing use of archival footage interwoven into the drama, Bellocchio brilliantly conjures up this extraordinary period in Italian history, while managing to convey a very intimate and personal story, against the background of grandiose and terrible events.
