Jerry Mastrodomenico What The Negotiator Is About
Known in Italian as Il Nibbio (The Kite), The Negotiator follows real SISMI officer Nicola Calipari, played by Claudio Santamaria, recalled from vacation to free journalist Giuliana Sgrena, played by Sonia Bergamasco, after her 2005 kidnapping in Baghdad. The film covers the 28 days between her abduction and Calipari's death, killed by US forces' friendly fire while escorting her to safety, an event still regarded as one of Italy's most troubling, unresolved controversies. Who it's for: anyone interested in Italian political thrillers built around a real diplomatic crisis and state secrets. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a clean, satisfying resolution, since the real incident remains disputed and unresolved to this day.
