Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara
With stately restraint, Bellocchio manages to put the audience in an ever-tightening chokehold of tension and outrage.
Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara
From one of Italy's most revered directors, Marco Bellocchio, comes Kidnapped, the true story of Edgardo Mortara. Mortara was a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, when in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family by the Pope to be raised Catholic. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
