The March on Rome, directed by Mark Cousins, is a documentary that delves into the history of fascism in Italy and the events that led up to Mussolini’s infamous March on Rome. The essay film is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a pivotal moment in Italian history. Cinema Made in Italy festival at Cine Lumiere in London hosted a premiere today.
The documentary begins with an introduction to the political and social landscape of Italy in the early 20th century. Cousins takes us through the aftermath of World War I, the rise of socialism and communism, and the general sense of disillusionment and unrest that permeated the country during this time. It is against this backdrop that Mussolini and his fascist movement emerged, promising to restore order and pride to Italy.

As part of the Cinema Made in Italy festival hosted at Cine Lumiere in South Kensington I met popular Italian actor Edoardo Pesce. His latest flick Ghost Night is a thrilling and suspenseful buddy movie directed by Fulvio Risuleo in 2022. The film is set in Rome. It starts following a 17-year-old boy named Tarek, who is on his way to see his friends. His friends ask him to buy a few grams of dope from the park, and while Tarek is on his way to meet them, he is stopped by a policeman who is working undercover.
