Why watch this film?
Produced with care by the BBC and excellent performances, the movie depicts the lives of three of the most important women in English and world literature, the Brontës - who were, in their time, forced to publish under male pseudonyms. Thus, we are able to better understand their isolation and the context that led them to produce classics such as 'Jane Eyre' and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall'. A great movie for literature lovers or period drama fans.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.

Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
