教宗家的小兒子

馬可．貝洛奇歐 Marco BELLOCCHIO｜義大利 Italy｜2023｜DCP｜Color｜124min

19世紀中葉，義大利波隆那受到教廷統治，出身於猶太教家庭的男孩在年幼時被信奉天主教的女僕祕密受洗，成為教會名冊上的信徒，按規定不得由猶太教徒撫養。男孩被士兵連夜帶走、離鄉背井，在教皇的掌握下學習天主教教義；家人心急如焚展開行動，誓言討回兒子。兩方勢力碰撞下，男孩心靈孤立無援，壟罩其上的不僅是信仰的分歧，也是塵俗人世的權柄爭奪。

改編自撼動義大利歷史的真實事件，當代義大利電影大師馬可．貝洛奇歐再以歷史與宗教背景交織創作，以19世紀浪漫主義繪畫做為視覺參照，描繪服飾、色彩與光影氛圍。貝洛奇歐展現高超技法，將人物情感掙扎與心智狀態的高度關注鎔鑄於情節，並映照義大利統一的關鍵時代背景，由個人故事出發，打磨出張力高漲的史詩戲劇，讓此片再次入選坎城影展主競賽。

In 1858, in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, the Pope's soldiers burst into the Mortara family's home. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year-old son. The child was secretly baptized as a baby and papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education. Edgardo's parents will do anything to get their son back. Supported by public opinion and the international Jewish community, the Mortaras' struggle quickly takes a political dimension. But the Church and the Pope will not agree to return the child, to consolidate an increasingly wavering power.
