Satire and Morality: the Cinema of Marco Bellocchio

Complementing the BFI’s retrospective, Satire and Morality: the Cinema of Marco Bellocchio, the Institut français is delighted to present a selection of his films and to welcome one of the greatest living Italian directors.

Political, iconoclastic and psychoanalytical, Marco Bellocchio’s cinema has constantly explored the complexity of human desire and challenged Italian society and its establishment. The result is an eclectic body of work, committed, thought-provoking, baroque at times, truly original.

This season is curated by Adrian Wootton and presented in collaboration with the BFI, Film Italia and the Italian Cultural Institute.
