Through little-seen archive and his characteristically cinematic analysis, Mark Cousins narrates the ascent of fascism in Italy and its fall-out across 1930s Europe. Both essay film and historical document, Cousins contextualizes history through the now, holding a mirror to a political landscape of a creeping far right and manipulated media.

Cousins entertainingly brings history, cinema, and the manipulative power of the movies together in just the way we’ve come to expect from him. If you’re at all intrigued by a movie called “The March on Rome,” you won’t be disappointed. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 08/31/2022

The March on Rome is about the growth of European Fascism. Obviously, it has plenty of substance. It is also admirably disciplined. Go to Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 05/27/2023

Cousins makes only a fleeting reference to World War I and no mention at all of the wave of militant strikes that erupted in postwar Italy, culminating in the mass occupations of factories and shipyards in 1920. Go to Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo 04/03/2023

Cinephile B Jun 20 I found it really interesting to observe, throughout this film, how Mussolini’s posture as a dictator evolved. At first, there’s a sense of hesitation, but as power settles in, his tone, body language and even his gaze become increasingly authoritarian and performative. Mark Cousins captures this remarkably well. See more Read all reviews
