- Movie Info : With three of the finest Italian films of the past decade -- Open Doors (1989), Stolen Children (1991) and Lamerica (1994) -- Gianni Amelio has established himself as "one of the most important Italian directors of the present generation" (Gianni Volpi), and as one of contemporary world cinema's leading luminaries. Blow to the Heart, Amelio's 1982 feature debut, ranks with his finest achievements. A morally complex study of a father-and-son relationship, set against the backdrop of political terrorism, Blow to the Heart stars Jean-Louis Trintignant (Bertolucci's The Conformist) as Dario, a leftist university professor whose half-hearted flirtation with Red Brigade guerillas brings him into dangerous conflict with his 15-year-old son Emilio. Fausto Rossi is the precocious, priggish youth, unable to aide his father's politics, and driven by an adolescent moral certitude that could bring Dario to ruin. The film displays all the social consciousness, trenchant humanism, visual perfectionism, and bravura acting for which Amelio's work has gained such renown.
