Venice, Sep 5.- The Venice Film Festival screens in competition the Canadian film The Order and the Brazilian film I'm Still Here, about right-wing extremist actions that represent a latent danger to humanity, news media in Italy highlight today.
A comment by critic Riccardo Brunello, in the publication Moviemag , states that The Order addresses the confrontation with the actions, in the North American state of Idaho, of a white supremacist group to finance a coup d'état, something that recalls the assault in January of 2021 to the Capitol by followers of former President Donald Trump.
It is “a warning for the years to come,” says Brunello in relation to the plot of this film, directed by the Australian Justin Kurzel and starring the British Jude Law, in the role of a federal police officer who in the remote town of Coeur d'Alene conducted the investigation into those events that occurred between 1983 and 1984.
Based on the book The Silent Brotherhood , by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, this film's main objective is to unmask collective violence and the danger of an ideology that "can become a brutal practice", since extreme right-wing currents represent a global threat.
For his part, in a note published in the newspaper La Stampa , film expert Francesco Boille describes as “splendid” the feature film I'm Still Here , by Brazilian Walter Salles, which reflects the years of the military dictatorship that ruled in that South American nation between 1964 and 1985.
The critic points out that "Salles knows how to make us forget that it is a film of vestiges, giving it the force of the present" and highlights that this sensitive fresco of memory was conceived by the director during the era of the attempted coup d'état plotted between the years 2022 and 2023 by the far-right Jair Bolsonaro, former president of that country.
These works, which are included among the 21 competing for the Golden Lion at the 81st edition of the Venice International Festival, which began on August 28 and will close its doors on September 7 in that northern city in the northern region of Veneto , they also launch “a warning for Europe, for us, Italians,” warns Boille.
