The 1978 kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Red Brigades terrorists.

John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

Mr. Bellocchio has always said that he makes films for Italy, but the indignation he generates in this series goes global.

The Movie Buff

Even when you know its culmination, the series manages to catch you off guard and feel paranoid with its game of spies, infiltrators, manipulators, and attackers.

Rated: B+

Bellocchio invokes a certain excess worthy of Paolo Sorrentino but in general, he gives a classical tone and spirit to his charged melodrama. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4.5/5

It’s character-focused, sure, but as each powerful character laments their inability to do anything to change the course of events, the series itself presents an inability to say anything beyond that.

Luke Hicks

The Film Stage

With a riveting pace, it’s a compelling interpretation of real history, and the more philosophical ruminations on people and politics, which reach far beyond the specific time and place in question.

Rated: B+

È un film molto bello e storicamente accurato, che ritrae perfettamente passo dopo passo tutto il caso Moro (ovviamente con qualche cambiamento scelto dal regista). Non è un film per tutti, a molti può sembrare noioso per la sua lunghezza(5 ore contando che è diviso in 2 parti), o perché semplicemente non gli interessa l'argomento, ma oggettivamente il film è fatto bene e recitato bene; non ho quasi niente da ridire apparte che alcune partimpotevano forse essere riassunte in meno tempo. Consigliato

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
