Samson Shillitoe is a New York City-based poet of great promise and some renown, but he's troubled, which causes problems. He is four months behind in alimony payments, unable to clear that outstanding debt with his day job as a carpet cleaner. But he sees this as not so much his problem: it's for the courts, the police, and his ex-wife Beverly. He has difficulties not acting upon his general attraction to women; in return, they act on the same attractions. He is in the process of writing his epic poem, and has been for five years and counting, but he's got a severe writer's block--and might be substituting sex for that inability to write. His long-suffering, loyal, current wife, working-class Rhoda Shillitoe, believes Samson's problems might lead him to attempt suicide. He is already prone to violent outbursts, although any violence toward her she knows is only in jest; she knows he'd never physically hurt her on purpose. When she sees psychotherapist Dr. Oliver West on a TV talk show, she believes he could solve Samson's problems. Samson doesn't want to talk to Dr. West about his life, but he agrees to see him largely out of circumstance; his creative juices are starting to flow again and he thinks he could use Dr. West's place as a place to write while hiding from the police who are after him. But Samson's association with Dr. West has its own complications, most specifically with Dr. West's unhappy wife, Lydia West, who is neglected by her husband; and with Dr. West's colleague Dr. Menken, who is looking for a human subject to test his new surgical procedure: lobotomy.—Huggo

A Fine Madness

A Fine Madness (1966)

The powerful new film from acclaimed auteur Marco Bellocchio (My Mothers Smile, Good Morning, Night, The Wedding Director), VINCERE is a compelling drama based on the littleknown story of Benito Mussolinis first wife. Ida Dalsar (Giovanno Mezzogiorno) and Mussolini (Filippo Timi) begin their liaison in 1914; she is a well-to-do beauty salon owner and he is an impoverished young Socialist and union activist. When Ida sells all her possessions to fund her lover's new newspaper, the rise of Fascism is set into play
An official selection of the Cannes, Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals, VINCERE is a gripping film that combines drama, archive footage, and music creating a highly cinematic oratorio of enormous emotional force.On the whole Vincere is a dark movie which tries to chart the life of Ida Dalsern, who instantly fell in love with Benito on a train and did her best to help him in his political career, giving him all her money to finance his newspaper Il Popolo dItalia. In return, the Duce treated her cruelly, systematically trying to eliminate these facts (marriage included) from his life. She was maltreated, stalked and eventually locked up in a lunatic bin for life.
Vincere is roughly based on two books respectively called Mussolins Marriage by Marco Zeni and Mussolinis Secret Child by Alfredo Pieroni, and on Fabrizio Laurenti and Gianfranco Norellis documentary film Mussolinis Secret. Actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno plays Ida Dalser, the first wife, while actor Filippo Timi plays two roles, the young Mussolini and in the second part of the movie Mussolini s secret son, Benito Albino. Despite the faults in the movie, both actors did a great job and their performances left one thirsty for more. [D-Man2010]
