Our take
A tense and engrossing thriller from Marco Bellocchio, one of the best Italian filmmakers working today, this kidnapping tale wears its reconstructed late-’70s setting beautifully, crafting a Pink Floyd-inflected fever dream of political terrorism that is refreshing in its female perspective.
