What Giordano Bruno Is About

Giordano Bruno, after falling out with the Church, spent years moving around Europe and found some protection for a while in Venice. He argues that the universe is infinite, that the sun is a star, that there may be countless worlds. The Roman Inquisition, uneasy about his influence across Europe, wants him tried for heresy. Bruno is taken to Rome, and a long trial begins there. Giuliano Montaldo directs, with Gian Maria Volonté as Bruno and a score by Ennio Morricone. Charlotte Rampling is also in the cast. The film does not turn Bruno into a saint; it shows his stubbornness, his arrogance and his fear together.
