❝ It's a flat rejection, without appeal, because practically nothing works in this film.
❝ In the vein of committed civil cinema, which in Italy has had great authors like Rosi, Petri, Lizzani, Bellocchio (just to name a few), Amelio's latest work takes us back to what was, in the 1960s, the distressing case of Aldo Braibanti, an unorthodox Marxist intellectual and distinguished myrmecologist, who was tried in 1968 for allegedly manipulating a young student (who was already of age at the time) and was sentenced to nine years in prison, although he only served two.
❝ A masterpiece, that with a sober and essential language knows how to offer moments of true poetry and beauty in depicting the wrenching humanity of the defeated.
❝ Porte Aperte is, in my view, an unjustly forgotten film, perhaps due to the missed Oscar, perhaps because it doesn't quite reflect the modern cinema standards that must have a certain pace and almost always provide answers; certainly, I find it more tied to a cinematic tradition (entirely Italian) closer to the films of Rosi or Petri.
