Good Morning, Night
Although Andrew said this would be a good film when he spoke about it a the last session, he never mentioned the soundtrack. Dave K. in looking up the film discovered that it is a treat for Pink Floyd fans. Dave unearthed the following:
A Thriller - The Murder of Aldo Moro
102 minutes
GOOD MORNING, NIGHT
(Buongiorno, Notte)
Marco Bellocchioís powerful film GOOD MORNING, NIGHT (Buongiorno, Notte),
which features a soundtrack almost exclusively made up of Pink Floyd's Wish
You Were Here album, is finally getting a UK DVD release, hitting the stores
on 25th April 2005.
The film, which enjoyed a successful, limited cinema run in the UK last
year, is based on the true story of the kidnapping of Italyís former Prime
Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. Bellocchioís screenplay won the Prize for
Outstanding Individual Contribution at the Venice Film Festival and the film
won the European Film Academy Fipresci Prize in 2003.
A mix of colour and black & white, the film is in Italian with English
subtitles, and has been critically acclaimed for its powerful portrayal of
the subject matter.
Synopsis:
Rome, 1978. A young woman, Chiara (Maya Sansa) moves into a large apartment
in a quiet suburb with her husband, Ernesto (played the directorís son, Pier
Giorgio Bellocchio). She works as a librarian for the government and has a
colleague, Enzo. He asks her about her private life but she gives him no
straight answers... in secret she is a member of the extreme terrorist
underground, the Red Brigade. Her quiet life masks one of the biggest
kidnaps in Italian history, the kidnap of Aldo Moro, who is imprisoned in
the apartment.
This film looks to be a cracker - don't be late!!!!
Have a feeling the filming looks to be good too, going by the photos......
If you got the e-mail Dave also attached a few fotos which look good. Check out the website.
I seem to be the only one who is checking out the blog. No comments. Maybe a blog is not he right kind vehicle to discuss films.
If you do come across this, make a comment and don't forget to bring your friends on Thursday.

Hi Geoff and the film club. A website and a blog page! Impressive.
Is this intended to be a resource for film discussion? What a blinding idea.
Hope you are all well, intend to get back to the film club.
