A Film by Marco Bellocchio
2023 · 134 mins · Drama

1858, the Jewish quarter of Bologna. The Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the bourgeoisie Mortara family: by order of the cardinal, they have come to take six-year-old Edgardo to Rome. Unbeknownst to his parents Momolo and Marianna, Edgardo had been secretly baptised by his nurse as a baby and the papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education, thus, his parents must either convert or lose him forever

"A classic in the making. Bellocchio has created a gripping, heartbreaking true-political crime story from the pages of history. It is a full-tilt melodrama with the passionate vehemence of Victor Hugo or Charles Dickens that lays bare tyranny, bigotry and the abuse of power in the Catholic church. I thrilled to this movie." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
