L'irriducibile

2022 · 78 min

A sober, talk-heavy documentary portrait that feels like sitting through a tense, unsettling history lesson with an unrepentant extremist.

Directed by: Morgan Menegazzo
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Vincenzo Vinciguerra, Aldo Giannuli, Stefania Limiti

Overview: Never repentant, never a collaborator with justice, but a 'political soldier' as he described himself in an interview with Sergio Zavoli, Vinciguerra remains a solitary cell, who over the years has repudiated right-wing militancy mixed with the state and its democratic system. Not a neo-fascist, but a fascist, determined to serve his entire sentence without seeking any reduction, as a reminder of the interference between the state and black terrorism, Vinciguerra despises all forms of democratic systems and anyone who is part of them.
