AndSTERNO NIGHT (second part)
Genre: Historical-political drama
Direction: Marco Bellocchio. With Fabrizio Gifuni, Margherita Buy, Toni Servillo, Fausto Russo Alesi, Gigio Alberti, Daniela Marra, Gabriel Montesi
The cinematic adventure of the television series continuesthis week with the last three episodes, where in the foreground we find the Red Brigades who kidnapped Moro and his wife Eleonora, to entrust the tragic epilogue of the story to the last part.
The theme of “power” is still very present, even in the debate that divided the Red Brigades – Adriana Faranda and Valerio Morucci against Mario Moretti on the fate of the kidnapped statesman, but it is above all the silences and weaknesses of the Christian Democratic political class (with the disturbing presence of the “American adviser”) to emerge in this partunable to listen to the requests of his wife and family who had to see Moro accused of having even become “crazy”.

The result is a painting that has the hues of a Shakespearean drama and that the great proof of Bellocchio and his co-writers (Bises, Rampoldi, Serino with the collaboration of Bianconi and Gator) can tell without falling into the traps of emphasis or chronicle.
But returning the fresco and the spirit of a country that turned out to be unprepared and immature in the face of too many appetites of those who wanted him eternally nailed to a reactionary and ahistorical immobility.
For those who want to continue to reflect on the history of our country.
