isla s @RT89656869 09/09/2022 This is quite a sobering and bleak watch. Some of what goes on is quite chaotic and keeping track of what happens to who is a bit of a struggle. It's certainly an emotional watch and the cast do an alright job in showing the women's (and childrens) distress at times, having to deal with wars and unkind political movements and situations that cruelly tear things apart. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Ida, who undoubtedly got a rough ride of things. Her desperation is clear to see. Whether you regard her as a victim of herself so to speak, in believing in things that perhaps were never so, well, that's up the viewer. It's certainly a thoughtful and insightful film. I like that it slows down a bit from the fast paced, confrontational scenes near the start, with various newspaper headlines strewn over the screen and seemingly black and white library war footage shown (to put things in context, societally speaking?). I preferred the scenes of Ida in a hospital/asylum, trying her hardest to maintain access to her child, to prove her past, much to others distaste or disbelief. It's the element of state control over someone's identity and the sense of hiding someone out of view, to avoid embarrassment, that saddens me most. It is quite a grim watch I suppose, as I say and so that may put you off and there are some rather bland scenes but for the most part, its a reasonably thoughtful and decent enough film. I'm not sure I'd expressly recommend going out of your way to see this but if it sounds of interest and you can catch it, then you may enjoy it, yes.

Not so much about a particular forrest fire that roared its way across the historical landscape - as about a particularly steadfast flame or two; left, for a time, in its wake.

See more 10/21/2015 The montage of actual historical footage & fictional scenes made the 1st half looking broken & disjointed. The 2nd half is better for being more on the fictional side. Some decent acting though. See more 09/06/2014 Vincere is one of the finest movies I've seen. I knew about Ida Dalser from my interest in Interwar Italy, but to see their love story in film was something . . . Quite different. The one word I would use to describe this film and its contents--its emotions, intrigue, Mussolini's early betrayal of his wife and son as he broke from the Socialists to join the war and climb onto Italy's national stage, and, of course, Fabrizio Costella's hauntingly accurate portrayal of the young DVX is simply: "Wow".
