Vincere

With 'Vincere' Bellocchio and his lead actors present a mature and thought provoking look at one of the most clouded stories of Fascist Italy's past with an uncanny sense of style and dramatic flair that is punctuated by the film's wonderful classical score and Giovanna Mezzogiorno's career defining performance, which is somewhat allegorical of the film as a whole, as like Italian society Dalser too was seduced and betrayed by the charm of the fierce and intelligent Mussolini. A remarkable film.
