‘Kidnapped: The Abduction Of Edgardo Mortara’, Marco Bellocchio’s True Tale Of Jewish Boy Taken By Pope In 1800s Italy – Specialty Preview
Indie films at the box office this weekend led by 'Kidnapped: The Abduction Of Edgardo Mortara' and 'Solo'. 'Hit Man' starts two-week theatrical run.
His anguished parents fought and Edgardo’s case became a cause celebre among Jewish communities in Italy, France, the UK (even the influential Rothschild banking family, a major lender to the church, requested a resolution) and as far away as the United States. Powell stars in the story loosely based on a Texas Monthly article, of Gary Johnson, a nerdy school teacher who moonlights as a hit man, and master of disguise. Documentary Songs of Earth from Strand Releasing, Norway’s Oscar feature film entry last year, opens in three locations in LA, NY and Vancouver ahead of a summer expansion in U.S. and Canadian markets.
