About Il sequestro (La sindrome di Stoccolma)
In kidnapping it may happen that the victim has sexual relations with their captor. Psychoanalysis defines this behavior as "Stockholm Syndrome". There may be many victims affected by this syndrome even in our country where the kidnapping industry is still very active. Obvious reasons mean that the public does not become aware of these facts.
Directed by Silvio Bandinelli, Il sequestro (La sindrome di Stoccolma) leans on a strong ensemble — Blondy, Tunde Olah, Karli Sweet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.
