La tragedia di un uomo ridicolo (1981)



A self-made Italian cheese manufacturer suffers personal and financial crises when his son is kidnapped.

From memory: Intriguing and puzzling drama, masterfully made, keeping its political message in abeyance throughout. 

Halliwell***: "Engrossing study of contemporary terrorism and individual responsibility, though its refusal to explain everything alienated many audiences." 

Maltin**: "Disappointing drama...Bertolucci seems to be commenting on moden social and familial stresses and upheavals, but his message is incredibly muddled."
