Synopsis:

No french review yet:
The film, directed by Fabrizio Laurenti, literally follows the path of Mussolini's corpse from a gas station on the square to an anonymous grave and eventually a tomb in Predappio, his birthplace in northern Italy, where thousands of supporters pay homage every year. "The images I have in my documentary are pretty, pretty strong," Laurenti said in a recent interview. "They're not for everybody." Some of the shots show the dictator's face grotesquely swollen, unrecognizable after being hung upside down, beaten and stoned. Others being revealed for the first time show his bullet-ridden body, curled up in a near-fetal position, looking mummified after a decade in a crate in a police warehouse. Police confiscated the corpse after diehard fascists dug up Mussolini's remains from his anonymous Milan grave soon after he was killed. The government eventually gave in to rightwing pressure and turned the body over to the family for burial in his hometown.
