Storyline

- TriviaSteven Spielberg was intending to direct a version of this story around 2016. He even was looking at casting the young boy's role though open auditions from Jewish Schools in Europe and America. Although he had cast Mark Rylance as Pope Pius IX and Oscar Isaac as the older Edgardo Mortara, Spielberg's inability to find the right child actor led to the project becoming stalled.

Featured review
As a film movie lover, depending on what city I am living in, I broaden my horizons by going to watch films at any festival. Since moving to Vancouver to pursue an education in film production at UBC, I have been excited to visit VIFF and watch a film. After scrolling through the website, I decided to see 'Kidnapped,' an Italian film by Marco Bellocchio. I haven't seen his films before, but I was excited to see this one. The film includes an intense historical drama of a Jewish toddler kidnapped by Pope Pius IX in 1865 because it was believed he had received a secret baptism. It was one of the best films I have seen and deserves more recognition. This rich, operatic film resonates strongly with the audience through the director's storytelling and the emotions portrayed by the actors in the movie.
