I truly appreciate Bellocchio. His direction is dynamic and inventive, his topics always important. What I object to in this production is the portrayal of Aldo Moro as the pure among the bipolar and the corrupt. Moro was as responsible as the rest of his party for the political and social situation that created the conditions for the red brigades to come into action, he was not an innocent bystander whose life was all family and church. His hands were as bloody as andreotti's and it's a real shame that Bellocchio gave this one-dimensional account of his activities and of the reasons why the BR came to be at all.
