Mussolini: Son of the Century
Mussolini: Son of the Century
A riveting, cinematic historical drama that follows Benito Mussolini’s transformation from a socialist journalist to becoming Italy’s fascist dictator, blending archival footage with the flare of director Joe Wright (Darkest Hour). Unfolding through Mussolini’s gaze, it portrays him as an almost sympathetic figure before revealing his monstrous ambitions, and shines a light on how propaganda can sway a nation. From Chris Vogner at the Boston Globe: “It’s a vibrant, propulsive, fiendishly intelligent TV series, boiling over with energy and brimming with craft.” (Read the review) Streaming only on Mubi.
