"Blood of my Blood, the new film from the Italy’s Marco Bellocchio, plays out like a beautifully turned novella—or perhaps two," begins the Telegraph's Robbie Collin. "This pair of lightly supernatural stories rhyme with each other across time, in ways that are oblique but sensually attuned." Cineuropa interviews the director: "In addition to Roberto Herlitzka, Alba Rohrwacher and Federica Fracassi, the film stars your daughter Elena Bellocchio, son Pier Giorgio Bellocchio and brother Alberto Bellocchio."

La Monaca (La Prigione di Bobbio)
Director: Marco Bellocchio
Writer: Marco Bellocchio
Producer: Simone Gattoni
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Ambra Angiolini, Pier Giorgio Bellocchio, Lidiya Liberman, Alberto Bellocchio
Bellocchio-ian themes of the church, the state and politics appear will likely all be sewn into a project that the Italian helmer has been trying to get off the ground for some time now and the reasoning for this is that after a glossed biopic-truth story of Bella addormentata, Marco Bellocchio is, according to Variety, working in “the free-flowing spirit” of Sorelle Mai (a rare experimental film in his filmography) and uses a mix of both professional and non-pro actors. In terms of incarcerated or held against their will female figures, look for La Monaca to be definitely be less-polished than Vincere.
