FOR NEW 19TH CENTURY DRAMA
Ahead of the world premiere at the scandalous Cannes Film Festival, a trailer and poster have been released for Marco Bellochio's historical movieKIDNAPPED (Rapito), an Italian drama about a Jewish boy
kidnapped and converted to Catholicism. The film opens in 1858 in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, where the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year-old son. The child had been secretly baptized by his nurse as a baby and the papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education.
Edgardo’s parents, distraught, will do anything to get their son back. Supported by public opinion and the international Jewish community, the Mortaras’ struggle quickly takes a political dimension. But the Church and the Pope will not agree to return the child, to consolidate an 
increasingly wavering power. Starring Paolo Pierobon, Fausto Russo Alesi, Barbara Ronchi, Enea Sala and Leonardo Maltese, it will be released in Italy May 25th, and in France in November.

About a decade ago, Spielberg attempted to make a film about the Mortara case, but was dissuaded. I'm glad, he didn't do it, but I'm also glad someone else made it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so enraging, I'd probably burn down Vatican and pope in it if they did that to my child.
DeleteThe boy looks so scared...religion can be so dangerous, harmful and cause the conflicts around the world.
ReplyDeleteNot can but most often is the main reason for it. I wanted to punch the pope from the trailer in the face so much, glad they demolished down Rome.
DeleteThe needs her butt kicked first. Then, burn the whole damn church down.
ReplyDeleteThat is long overdue, deary.
