Vincere

This well made biopic shows us Mussolini life from the First World War when he was a philandering socialist opposing an oppressive regime. The film tells the story of the other woman and the son they had together, both of whom were shockingly treated by the Italian state and the church. It seems the best thing the nuns could tell her about alleviating her situation was that she'd receive solace in the next life, very reassuring.
