Movie Review: Good Morning, Night
Summary: 4 Stars
Strange, low-key film about the kidnap by Red Brigade terrorists of Aldo Moro. I found my attention wandering during the first half, where the mundanity of the proceedings threatened to underwhelm. If the purpose of this was to emphasise the sheer banality of some violence and its perpetrators (after all, all those involved in the kidnapping, including Moro were constantly under threat of imminent death), it didn't quite work. From then on, as the film heads towards its climax, matters improved and I found myself thoroughly absorbed, amazed at the sheer pointlessness of the crime and the stupid, quasi- religious convictions of the brigade members.
The film is rescued by Maya Sansa, who plays the lone female member of the group. Her brooding intensity dominated, even in scenes where she had nothing to say. Conflicted between her political convictions, her desire to please the dominant males and her growing doubts about the morality of their actions, she was by far the most convincing and watchable performer. Roberto Herlitzka, as the heart-breakingly decent and doomed Moro, also impressed.
I found the extras more entertaining and informative than the film. The media would have us believe that all is well in our happy consumer society and that we live in the best of all possible worlds with no viable alternatives. This look at Marco Bellocchio's films and a trawl through various protest movements showed that there are still large groups of people who, rightly or wrongly, have other ideas and are prepared to do something about it.
Summary of Good Morning, Night
Internationally acclaimed and award-winning director Marco Bellocchio (My Mother's Smile, Devil in the Flesh) delivers a film of devastating emotional power based on the shocking true story of the 1978 kidnapping and murder of Italy's former Prime Minister. A young woman, Chiara, moves into a new apartment with her husband. On the surface she lives a routine existence, but all is not as it seems. She conceals her true identity as a member of The Red Brigades, Italy's terrorist underground, which is currently planning to kidnap the Prime Minister. Passionate about a revolutionary utopia, Chiara's suspicions and doubts grow and she questions, both emotionally and ideologically, her commitment and acts.Art House & International DVD Video
