The sad, sad story of the kidnapping and eventual murder of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades in the late 70's. The focus of the film is the only female captor as she evolves in her feelings about the rightness of the course they have embarked upon.
Constant use of tight close-ups worked in this case to heighten in the audience the sense of claustrophobic captivity. Moro was presented as a sympathetic character...his captors as rigid idealists, outraged at the depredations of capitalism but with no clear idea of what to substitute.
Powerful political film with emotional impact.
