This unusual and offbeat historical drama rests on a little-known conceit. Though seldom discussed in history books (and reportedly undisclosed for half a century), fascist dictator Benito Mussolini conceived an illegitimate son by a woman named Ida Dalser -- a son Mussolini allowed to be born, acknowledged, and then promptly denied for the duration of his life. The tale begins in early 20th century Milan, with Benito (Fabrizio Costella) working as the socialist editor of a controversial newspaper called Avanti. His dream in life involves triumphantly leading the Italian masses away from monarchy and toward a "socially emancipated future." He met the young and wealthy Ida (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) once before, in Trento -- where they enjoyed a brief exchange; they re-encounter one another during Mussolini's period at Avanti and it becomes clear that Ida has fallen deeply in love with Benito. She believes wholeheartedly in his ideals and his future as the leader of Italy -- to such an extent that she sells everything she has (her apartment, furniture, jewelry, and the beauty salon she owns) to fuel the development of his newspaper, Il Popolo d'Italia.While the two become romantically entangled, with Ida positively magnetized by Benito's charisma and Benito hooked on a lust for power, Benito quickly switches spiritual and political allegiances overnight, changing from an atheistic socialist to a deeply Catholic fascist -- Catholic, because an allegiance with the Vatican will enable him to wrest and retain control over Italy's government. Benito and Ida marry and parent a son together, Benito Albino Mussolini (circa 1915), but the marriage certificate soon conveniently disappears and Ida learns, to her horror, that Benito has married someone else. She unwisely begins to protest the situation -- so loudly and persistently that she's first forced into house arrest and then shoved permanently into an insane asylum -- raising key questions about the fate and future of her young son. On a stylistic level, director Marco Bellocchio films this historical material with the passion, theatricality, lyricism, and tragedy of a classical Italian opera. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

New Review For Movie Vincere
Carol Crivelli's soaring classical score heightens Bellochio's operatic tendencies.Joshua Katzman-Chicago Reader
An astute study of amour fou and a cautionary tale about how the worship of false idols can lead to personal and national collapse.
David Jenkins-Time Out
Bellocchio has turned the story of Mussolini's discarded wife and son into a movie that has some of the bully swagger and excess of Il Duce himself.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
The untold story of how fascist strongman Benito Mussolini rose to power by trampling on the woman who loved him is a bracingly cinematic lesson in how all politics is personal.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Vincere is a thrilling period drama about the power of delusions.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
There's visual poetry here and haunted performances from Mezzogiorno and Timi -- who plays two roles, and is especially gripping as Dalser 1/2 1/2s grown son.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
It's a real treat to see this provocative examination of the life of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. As Dalser, Giovanna Mezzogiorno delivers a passionate, ho-holds-barred performance. Filippo Timi is equally good as the bullish, blustering Mussolini.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
The events occur not to tell a narrative, but to illustrate an emotional progress.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
A series of striking images that serve little purpose except to look striking.
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.-Goatdog's Movies
In telling the story of one wronged woman, Bellocchio shows how an entire country was flattered and seduced, then betrayed.
Rob Thomas-Wisconsin State Journal
An art-house version of a historical drama that takes plenty of risks--some of which are more successful than others. But you can't say enough about Giovanna Mezzogiorno's performance.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
Movie starts off with a bang, but begins to lose interest as the main character (Ida Dalser) descends into mental illness.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
It's all a grand and flashy affair -- but also weirdly prone to the incoherence, redundancy and bullying dehumanization that characterized the political history it presumes to critique.
Jonathan Kiefer-Sacramento News & Review
Vincere maintains its grip through sheer flair.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
This skilfully made film tells a terrific story but is rather too densely packed to appeal to audiences unfamiliar with (or uninterested in) Italian history. Although it gives the wonderful Mezzogiorno yet another vivid role.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Writer/director Bellocchio boldly orchestrates a whirl of archival newsreel footage, silent-movie clips and fictional re-enactments.
Tom Dawson-Total Film
A full-blooded melodrama pitched at the level of grand opera.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
An audacious, wildly operatic exploration of Mussolini's rise to power from the perspective of the secret wife whom he all but erased from history.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
...an operatic sendup of the strongman as monument, a tongue-in-cheek indictment of absolute power that at times comes dangerously close to deification.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
The screenplay is unkind to lead actor Giovanna Mezzogiorno, requiring her to replay the same obsessive behaviour in less-than-inspiring locales, and all the film's energy just fizzles out.
Andrew Pulver-Guardian [UK]
Audiences are unlikely to feel sufficiently involved to cope with all the emotional agony.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Ravishingly beautiful, immersive and with terrific performances from the two leads, it's a real gem.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
Masterly directed. Powerful and tragic. Pure cinema.
Tom Seymour-Little White Lies
The story might fascinate if it weren't plunged into a stylistic deep freeze -- when your best sequences are chunks of greatest-hits newsreel, you're clearly in trouble.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
An occasionally exhilarating retelling of a fascinating, little-known story. And how Mezzogiorno missed awards consideration is a mystery.
Ian Freer-Empire Magazine
