CHARLOTTE (1980)

Jon W. — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:02:15 +0000

In 1939, Charlotte Salomon leaves Berlin to seek refuge at her grandparents’ villa in the south of France. A little later, war breaks out, and Charlotte must, besides forgetting all she left behind, deal with her grandmother’s depression, and her mother’s suicide. To fight despair, Charlotte starts to paint, producing over one thousand images. “Is my life real, or is it theater?” This is the title she gives her body of work, which highlights her former life in Berlin. She finds herself though her art, but in 1943 is deported to Germany and Auschwitz.

Weisz regarded Charlotte as one of his most personal films. “I could divide my life into the period before Charlotte and after Charlotte,” he once said. To make the film, he temporarily moved to Berlin — the city where his father, Géza Weisz, spent the first thirty years of his life before fleeing to the Netherlands to escape the Nazis. “That brought me very close to my own history.”

IL LADRO DI BAMBINI (1992)

Jon W. — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 04:40:22 +0000

Il Ladro di Bambini begins in Milan, where Sicilian siblings Rosetta, 11, and Luciano, 9, live with their destitute mother. The woman regularly prostitutes Rosetta and is arrested; her children are immediately made wards of the court. Carabiniere Antonio Criaco is assigned to escort them to a foster home in a mission that appears to be simple. Yet, years of abuse forbid the siblings to trust, obey, or even like Antonio. Rosetta is hostile and demanding; Luciano is sullen and remote. When the Catholic foster home will not accept the children on the grounds of Rosetta’s past, Antonio independently decides to bring them south to a home in Sicily.

LE MANI SPORCHE (1978)

Jon W. — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 10:39:11 +0000

A young, impressionable communist Hugo is sent to kill a rogue party chairman, Hoederer, who slowly manipulates Hugo into working for him, but Hugo’s flirty wife Jessica will prove the downfall of them both.

Of all of Sartre’s plays, this was the most discussed and opposed because of its political content, the problems raised, the instrumentalization of which it was the object. The story told, although transposed into a fictitious world, is inspired by the assassination of Leon Trotsky by his secretary Ramón Mercader, a Stalinist agent.

Director: Elio Petri. AKA Dirty Hands.
Writers: Elio Petri (translation and adaptation), Jean-Paul Sartre (play).
Stars: Giovanni Visentin, Giuliana de Sio, Ana Maria Gherardi, Bruno Pagni, Marcello Mastroianni, Omero Antonutti, Massimo Foschi, Pietro Biondi, Giorgio Trestini, Umberto Verdone, Ezio Sancrotti, Pupo De Luca, Vanni De Lucia, Ferruccio Cainero, Giulio Bosetti, Ferruccio Caneiro, Elio Petri.
