Vincere

Italian writer and director Marco Bellocchio brings the untold story of Ida Dalser, the woman who scarified everything to help her lover Benito Mussolini to fulfill his dream, only to betray her in the worst possible way. Bellocchio's operatic treatment of the personal tragedy which lead to a national one where Ida's betrayal reflects Italy's by a charismatic man in the most vicious way through the heart. Giovanna Mezzogiorno gives the performance of a lifetime. Bellocchio hits all the right notes in both one the epic and the intimate scale with a superb cast and crew.YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
