Marco Bellocchio's Vincere at the Edina Cinema

  • 09 Apr 2010
  • The Edina Cinema, 3911 West 50th St, Edina, MN 55424, (651) 649-4416
A cinematic tour de force, Vincere is Italian master Marco Bellocchio's (Good Morning, Night, Fists in the Pocket) portrait of Benito Mussolini (Filippo Timi), and Ida Dalser (Giovanna Mezzogiorno), the fiery woman who was his secret wife and the mother of his abandoned child. The closely guarded story of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's secret lover and son is revealed in fittingly operatic proportions. Thunderstruck by the young Mussolini's charisma, Dalser gives up everything to help champion his revolutionary ideas. When he disappears during World War I and later resurfaces with a new wife, the scorned Dalser and her son are locked away in separate asylums for more than a decade. But Ida will not disappear without a fight. The film was a standout selection of the 2009 Cannes, Telluride, Toronto, New York and AFI film festivals, and received awards for Best Director, Best Actress and Best Actor at the Chicago International Film Festival.
