KIDNAPPED: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara (134 Minutes) Feature Film - Italy (2023)
Grace Gamm Theater
Language: Italian, Hebrew
Sumptuously directed by Marco Bellocchio, a legendary and beloved Italian director now in his 80s, this is a grand, historical fresco depicting a scandalous true story. In 1858, in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family to take Edgardo (Enea Sala), their seven-year-old son, who the church says was secretly baptized as a baby. Awash in painterly chiaroscuro evoking the masterworks of Caravaggio and Delacroix, Kidnapped is a personal, human-scale narrative of a family in crisis and a portrait of a country on the cusp of revolution. It's an absolute masterpiece.
