Why watch this film?
"Fabian oder Der Gang vor die Hunde" is a German melodrama set in the 1930s during the Weimar Republic, providing an incredibly detailed historical context. The main character is Fabian, a young bohemian who spends his nights searching for a freedom that is slowly being extinguished by the rise of Nazism. The film functions as an intense character study, and the relationships that surround him. Fabian has conflicting views, and his hypocrisy condemns him and pushes him into psychological prisons, bringing chaos and anguish to his life. He falls in love with an actress and, as her career begins to take off, the protagonist is increasingly overwhelmed by his insecurities and repressed morality. The aesthetic model of the film is loaded with irony and visual sarcasm, subverting the roots of a genre historically based on formality, and inserting into it a personality that reflects the character in a cohesive way. A great work of contemporary German cinema, and an excellent historical and social portrait.

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.
