Kidnapped
Dir. Marco Bellocchio
(Italy/France/Germany, 2023, 134 min)
In 1858, in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year- old son. The child had been secretly baptized by his nurse as a baby and the papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education. Edgardo’s parents, distraught, will do anything to retrieve their child from the clutches of a ruthless theocratic government, painting a personal narrative of a family in crisis and a wide-scope portrait of a country on the cusp of revolution.
