Screening of the film: Fists in the Pocket
€ 3.00In dealing with themes such as the reclaiming of diversity and the family as a symbol of bourgeois life to be annihilated, this [1965] film was the first to predict the protest and rejection of conservative culture to come in the generational revolution of 1968. Only 26 years old when he directed the film, Bellocchio became a symbol for the new generation, bringing to the screen themes from the protest movements that would soon explode across Europe. In a decadent villa in the Apennines near Piacenza, four siblings live with their blind mother: Augusto is the only one to have a ‘normal’ working life, while Leone, Sandro and Giulia live a claustrophobic existence, incapable of dealing with the outside world. Sandro (Lou Castel), unhealthily obsessed with Giulia, kills his mother and brother believing that this way he will win back his freedom and return to living, but he will die from an epileptic attack. Introduced by Marco Aime
