The daughter of an infobat who cries her eyes out and her left-wing friend, suspicious before seeing the film, who remains speechless and wants it to be shown in schools.
Queues in front of cinemas, but also protests with rivers of messages for the cities where there is no way to find a hall. Luckily there were no pickets from those who saw the boogeyman everywhere at the entrance to the cinemas, but a creeping boycott, a cultural reluctance, which does not honor Red land – Red Istria, the film about the Istrian martyr Norma Cossetto. It is not possible that in Milan to go and see it you have to venture towards Bicocca. No hall in the center stepped forward. In Turin, the very central cinema that had almost said yes has suddenly backtracked.

The cultural hegemony of the left dictated by political correctness, even if the film certainly doesn't praise fascism, strikes again. In the "red" triangle of Genoa, Milano, In Bologna, cinemas are off limits or the programming manages to dissuade the most avid spectators. They arrived from Perugia 150 emails to clamor for a room, but without success. Roma, the capital where there is an entire neighborhood of Istrian exiles, Fiumeans and Dalmatians, Rosso Istria was first released in two cinemas and now in four, but sometimes there wasn't even a poster. The low-profile "boycott" also depends on distribution problems, funds, from the monopoly of the usual American films, but also from an ideological and political itch or false fears of retaliation. In Italy there are approximately 4500 screens, but the film about the tragedy of the foibe, After 70 years, found space in the first week just in 30 salt and in the second in others 40. From Rome on down it is a blank slate apart from rare exceptions. In Naples and the islands the exiles protest and stigmatize that in Sardinia there isn't even a cinema with Rosso Istria despite the fact that Istrian refugees populated Fertilia after the war. The deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, with a post on Facebook he rightly denounced that "they are doing everything to boycott the film which tells the massacre of thousands of our compatriots by the Yugoslav communists during the Second World War". And he adds that "for decades left-wing politicians and intellectuals have done everything to hide this truth". Where cinemas don't shrug their shoulders there are long queues of spectators, like in Padua or full halls in Trieste, cities close to the tragedy of the foibe. There is no shortage of the usual threats and denialist nonsense online from an irreducible minority orphaned by Marshal Tito. The young director who discovered the tragedy of Norma Cossetto with Rosso Istria is branded as a "fascist". They don't incite, Still, all’infoibamento, but they hope for «the end of Cristicchi (the singer-songwriter ed) who saw his career cut short after propagandizing historical revisionism" with Magazzino 18, the touching theatrical representation of the exodus. Rosso Istria must not be reduced to a samdidzat of exiles, but it must be seen by everyone in cinemas, on TV and in schools to pay the debt of memory to the victims of the foibe after seventy years of political censorship and oblivion.
