Hello Fellow Film Lovers,
We're ready to start a new season of Italian Film in Hamilton with the presentation of "Vincere". The powerful new film from acclaimed auteur Marco Bellocchio, Vincere is a compelling drama based on the little known story of Benito Mussolini's first wife. Ida Dalsar (Giovanno Mezzogiorno) and Mussolini (Filippo Timi) beginning with 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.
