Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness

Day 34: Good Morning, Night

This Italian film tells the story of the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, a former prime minister, by the Red Brigades. The film is told from the viewpoint of one of the brigade members who guarded Moro, a young woman who has doubts about the kidnapping.

Pope Paul VI appears in the film based on his role in trying to get the government to negotiate for Moro's release, at one point offering to take Moro's place.
