Plot

The story of Ida Dalser, who claimed to be Mussolini's first wife and mother of his son, and was silenced and confined to asylums once he took power.

Sinekatalog’s take

Marco Bellocchio's operatic drama tells of Ida Dalser, who claimed to be Mussolini's wife and was silenced. Giovanna Mezzogiorno is blazing, and the film's archive footage and fury make a vivid, tragic political melodrama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
