Director’s Notes

Right-wing politics is present in many places. I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 1970s, our prime year, the “key year” of political and sectarian turmoil. It was a time of low-temperature warfare – a time of troubles – but it was also a time when the British government conducted underground operations with far-right paramilitary forces to crack down on the civil rights movement. Dangerous authority was therefore a part of my life. In the early 1990s I co-directed a film in which we tried to expose the far right in another train journey – France, Scotland, Austria and Germany. So this is a subject that has interested me for most of my career. And the centenary of the March on Rome seemed to me a good opportunity to go back. I wanted to look at the issue from different angles. Of course we had to carefully examine the archival footage of the time and try to show how entangled they were. Movie lie. The whole culture is a lie. The things that many of us love – art, movies, etc. – are potentially our enemies as well. To us! It certainly had a role in the hunt for power. Those who want to control will use all the means necessary and of course they know that cinema is an extraordinary tool: aggressive, immediate and convincing. It knows how to hide its mechanism. Cinema is morally neutral: it is a force for good or for evil. So I knew from the beginning that if I make a movie about A Noi! I wanted to show everything that was not. I would say that although 1922 was an era of ideological control, many directors rejected these controls: Elvira Notari, Chaplin, Carl Theodor Dreyer, etc. Today we have the same option.
