Runa R I give this film three stars, not because it lacks quality, but simply because it explains very little. Unless you're already familiar with Italian politics in the 1970s, much of it will go over your head. This kind of film — with a quasi-documentary style, even interspersing real archive footage — is one of my favourites, precisely because of the educational potential it often carries. But this one teaches very little. To grasp the essentials, you need to do your own research online, or turn to books, to fill in the gaps. But if you’re going to investigate separately, the value of a documentary film as an educational tool is somewhat lost. This film seems made for an already well-informed audience. It would have been helpful to include an extra 15 or 20 minutes of context, explaining the key concepts, protagonists and ideas, especially for international viewers or younger generations, who didn't live through these events and could genuinely learn from the film.
