Between 1969 and 1982, for 13 years, Italy during the economic miracle and the Christian democracy went through a dark tunnel illuminated by the fires of terrorist bombs, resounding with gunfire, marked by kidnappings and sordid assassinations. Social crisis or subversive plot, ideological drift or “strategy of tension”: the debate continues. One thing is certain, Italian cinema, the best in the world, almost in real time offered a lyrical exegesis of this period in black and red.
Black comedy dismantling the image of a bourgeois swaying on its certainties, libertarian westerns or erotic-morbid giallo, horror films or ultra-violent urban thrillers. This dark and prosperous period, our guest Jean-François Rauger provides a sharp and impactful analysis, examining the dialectic pendulum between cinema and history.
