Dramaparis, francehitmanitalyfascismchildhood traumabenito mussolinipolitical assassinationconformityanti-fascism
A visually stunning, psychologically complex examination of moral compromise and the psychological roots of fascism, told through the fractured consciousness of a man fleeing his own humanity.
A weak-willed Italian man becomes a fascist flunky who goes abroad to arrange the assassination of his old teacher, now a political dissident.
