RAPITO (L’ENLÈVEMENT / KIDNAPPED) de / by MARCO BELLOCCHIO
The story takes place in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, where the Pope’s soldiers burst into the Mortara family’s home to kidnap their seven-year-old son, Edgardo. According to the cardinal, the child had been secretly baptized by his wet nurse and must therefore receive a Catholic education according to papal law. Edgardo’s devastated parents do everything in their power to get their son back, and their struggle quickly takes on a political dimension.

IL SOL DELL’AVVENIRE (VERS UN AVENIR RADIEUX / A BRIGHTER TOMORROW) de/by NANNI MORETTI
The movie follows a failing Italian film director Giovanni who is in the throes of late career crisis, trying to shoot his passion project about the Italian Communist Party squaring off with the Soviets over the 1956 Hungarian Invasion. A Brighter Tomorrow is billed a movie in a movie. Giovanni’s marriage is in free fall to his producer wife, Paola, who is paying their bills by producing a violent gangster flick he objects to. Ultimately she asks him for a divorce via her therapist.
“For his tenth film In Competition, Nanni Moretti does not spare himself by playing Giovanni, a prolific director on the verge of a burnout, who is shooting his next film, writing the following and thinking of the third. Everything, both personal and professional, seems to be conspiring against him and, if he wants a brighter tomorrow, he’ll have to start rethinking his way of doing things”. – Festival de Cannes
