Kidnapped
Rich, complex and unbelievably true, KIDNAPPED is legendary Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio at his controversial best with the epic story of a small community in turmoil at the mercy of a hostile and all-powerful theocracy. Bologna, Italy, 1858. Edgardo, a six-year-old boy from a Jewish family is kidnapped by agents of the Pope and forced to convert to Catholicism. The distraught Mortara family try desperately to rescue him and soon find themselves at the epicentre of a wider historical battle between the forces of Catholic authoritarianism and the political awakening taking place across Italy and throughout Europe... Kidnapped is at once a personal, human-scale story of a family in crisis, and a much wider portrait of a world on the cusp of revolution. With its stunning photography, costumes and fresco-like design it vividly brings the past to life while having much to say about the present day with the constant need to resist totalitarianism and recognise the dangers of fanaticism, whether religious or political PT2H14M12A2024-04-26Paolo Pierobon
