Piazza Fontana: The Italian Conspiracy


            In this chilling story about world politics, Toni Servillo defies expectations playing two roles, imbuing each character with brilliant nuance and astonishing attention to detail. In the first, he personifies political failure in the role of the disgraced ideologue and party leader, Enrico Oliveri. In the second, he embodies the shrewd genius of a madman as Oliveris unhinged twin brother who seizes control of the nation amidst the void of his brothers disappearance. As the national election approaches, Enrico Oliveri has plummeted in the polls and his supporters and adversaries alike begin to acknowledge his impending downfall. Unwilling to face the failure of his party and his nation, Oliveri vanishes into the night. The party leadership tries to hedge for time by concealing Oliveris disappearance with a series of acrobatic sidesteps. In a desperate move, right hand man Andrea Bottini seeks out Oliveris look-alike twin brother, Giovanni Ernani, a prolific author and philosopher who is freshly released from an insane asylum. Slowly and steadily, Giovanni insinuates himself into his brothers public persona, impersonating Oliveris every tick and mannerism exquisitely yet slightly imperfectly. Giovanni quickly surpasses his brothers political prowess with an eerie talent for rallying the masses through fearless and heroic speeches. As Andò shifts between the failure of the sincere intellectual and the heroics of a madman, he probes the driving forces behind our contemporary global political reality leaving behind a rich web of questions in this unpredictable and provocative thriller.Il segretario del principale partito di opposizione, Enrico Oliveri, si abbandona alla nostalgia in seguito ad uno stato depressivo dovuto ai sondaggi sempre più sfavorevoli per il suo partito.
Allinsaputa di sua moglie Anna e del suo stretto collaboratore Bottini, fugge una notte improvvisamente per raggiungere a Parigi la donna con la quale, 20 anni prima, aveva avuto una relazione, Danielle. Danielle è oggi una segretaria di edizione sposata al celebre regista cinese Mung con il quale ha una figlia dodicenne, Hélène.
Nel frattempo in Italia Anna e Bottini cercano di risolvere la situazione ricorrendo al fratello gemello di Enrico, Ernani, professore di filosofia reduce da un lungo soggiorno in ospedale psichiatrico. Pur essendo fratelli gemelli apparentemente identici, i due uomini sono in realtà profondamente diversi.
Ernani prende dunque il posto di Enrico: rilascia interviste, tiene discorsi in pubblico, presiede conferenze immettendo nella politica un vento rivoluzionario, è la creatività al potere, la poesia che lascia stupefatti gli avversari e fa sognare gli elettori.
Sarà questo linizio di un misterioso passo a due in cui si intrecciano la vita pubblica e la vita privata di un uomo, ma anche quelle di due fratelli gemelli innamorati della stessa donna.
Una partita a distanza la cui posta in gioco sono la verità e la falsità del potere.
    

Long Live Freedom


            The powerful new film from acclaimed auteur Marco Bellocchio (My Mothers Smile, Good Morning, Night, The Wedding Director), VINCERE is a compelling drama based on the littleknown story of Benito Mussolinis first wife. Ida Dalsar (Giovanno Mezzogiorno) and Mussolini (Filippo Timi) begin their liaison in 1914; she is a well-to-do beauty salon owner and he is an impoverished young Socialist and union activist. When Ida sells all her possessions to fund her lover's new newspaper, the rise of Fascism is set into play
An official selection of the Cannes, Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals, VINCERE is a gripping film that combines drama, archive footage, and music creating a highly cinematic oratorio of enormous emotional force.On the whole Vincere is a dark movie which tries to chart the life of Ida Dalsern, who instantly fell in love with Benito on a train and did her best to help him in his political career, giving him all her money to finance his newspaper Il Popolo dItalia. In return, the Duce treated her cruelly, systematically trying to eliminate these facts (marriage included) from his life. She was maltreated, stalked and eventually locked up in a lunatic bin for life.
Vincere is roughly based on two books respectively called Mussolins Marriage by Marco Zeni and Mussolinis Secret Child by Alfredo Pieroni, and on Fabrizio Laurenti and Gianfranco Norellis documentary film Mussolinis Secret. Actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno plays Ida Dalser, the first wife, while actor Filippo Timi plays two roles, the young Mussolini and in the second part of the movie Mussolini s secret son, Benito Albino. Despite the faults in the movie, both actors did a great job and their performances left one thirsty for more. [D-Man2010]
