Marx Can Wait

1h 34m

Directed by Marco Bellocchio • 2021 • Italy
Starring Marco Bellocchio, Alberto Bellocchio, Pier Giorgio Bellocchio

1968 was the year Camillo died. Nearly fifty years after the death of his twin brother at the age of twenty-nine, acclaimed director Marco Bellocchio (FISTS IN THE POCKET) gathers his family to reconstruct Camillo’s disappearance. Combining intimate conversations with the Bellocchio family and those who knew Camillo best with archival material, home movies, and his own films, Marco attempts to manifest a ghost he has been dealing with his entire life. What begins as a family conversation morphs into a profoundly moving investigation into grief, guilt, compassion, and love from one of Italian cinema’s greatest directors.
