A fascinating fresco with dreamlike features to tell, through the filmography of Marco Bellocchio, the darkest and most difficult years of recent Italian history.
“Journey into the Twilight” travels along the roads that lead into the cold darkness of Italian decline: of the family, of patriarchal society, of educational institutions, of religion. It is a land where the common, public, shared space, from the interior of a colorless, amorphous egoism, where even revolutionary, socialist, communist ideals, mixed with Manichaean Catholicism, have turned into fideistic and totalitarian dogmas.
