Summary of Good Morning, Night

This brave, inventive, and controversial Italian film from director Marco Bellocchio imagines the events that followed the kidnapping of Aldo Moro (Roberto Herlitzka), the former Italian Prime Minister, in 1978. Moro's body was ultimately found in a car trunk two months later, and this film portrays the chaotic weeks in between, as the blindly ideological young radicals who abducted him (most notably Maya Sansa in a haunting and ambiguous performance) try to figure out what they have achieved and what they ought to do next. This poetic, often moving film explores one of the most important political events in modern Italian history in a manner that manges to be both evenhanded and deeply personal.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Numerous filmmakers have attempted to dramatize the terrorist activity that gripped Italy in the 1970s, but few have done so with the unsettling power of Marco Bellocchio's Good Morning, Night.
Salon.com
It's a strange and murky movie, at times a frustrating one, but I also found it profoundly moving in a way no regular thriller ever is.
