Eredità della politica. Hammamet di Gianni Amelio

Gianni Amelio’s Hammamet is the last episode of the recent biographicalpolitical turn in Italian cinema, pursuing the peculiar direction of this thread, that is, the intertwining of life, history, and politics in one single figure, in this case former Socialist Italian Party secretary Bettino Craxi. In particular, the depiction of Craxi’s last days – when he forcibly quit political activity – focuses on the strong bond between politics and images, disclosing a question about the heritage of that political era in the present time.
