Part of filmmaker Guiliano Montaldo’s trilogy that shines a light on historical abuses of power, this biopic about the politically motivated trial of Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti premiered in competition at the 24th Cannes Film Festival, where Riccardo Cucciolla won best actor for his portrayal of Sacco. Ennio Morricone’s score for this courtroom docudrama about the notorious Italian anarchists is fleshed out with lyrics for several tracks written and performed by singer-songwriter Joan Baez, who looked to history and the plaque on the Statue of Liberty for inspiration.
