Film: Good Morning, Night by Marco Bellochio
"In 1978 Italy, Red Brigade terriorists abducted the statesman Aldo Moro, a past prime Minister ... Marco Bellocchio's terse, speculative revisiting of the shattering incident" starring Maya Sansa, luigi Lo Cascio and Robert Herlitzha.
While waiting in the foyer of the Belltable ( having a look at their current exhibition) I realised that i have never been to the cinema on my own. Im not sure why, I'm not really the most avid cinema goer even though i do love film. Usually its because im not a fan of going the see the latest block buster during the peak of its media push but I'm also not crazy about the massive impersonal multiplexes. The Belltable film club was far from this, I'd never heard of this film on the night - but thought it sounded interesting and the cinema itself was the old faded grandeur of a traditional film space. There were few attendees on the night and I settled down to a really enjoyable night without any one munching in my ear. It's great also to be exposed to a film like Good Morning, Goodnight; one you may not get in your local commercial cinema or video rental store.
