Italian Cinema Forum: Good Morning, Night

This workshop with Dr Mark Nicholls discusses Good Morning, Night (2003), the second of Marco Bellocchio’s three screen treatments on the 1978 kidnapping and assassination of senior Italian politician and former Prime Minister, Aldo Moro. In his haunting and fantastical film, Bellocchio focuses on the brutal, dispiriting and bizarre aspects of the Moro Case from the perspective of one of the kidnappers, Chiara (Maya Sansa).

Clips will be shown as a basis for group discussion.
