The involvement of Bellocchio in anti-psychiatry was hardly accidental as he had been pursuing a broadly anti-psychiatric approach throughout his fictional film career beginning most explosively with his first film Fists in the Pocket (1965). Throughout Bellocchio’s films of the 1960s and 70s, social critique is filtered through the subjective experience of repression and alienation at the hands of a range of institutional structures such as the family (Fist in the Pockets), the education system (In the Name of the Father, 1971), the press (Slap the Monster on Page One, 1972) and the Army (Victory March, 1976). While all of these films have anti-

psychiatric tendencies to lesser or greater extents it is really Fists in the Pockets that these are most explicitly and provocatively expressed. Centred around a bourgeois family of a blind mother and four adult children, this is a film that examines the family through a focus on gesture as implied by the title. Rather than a simple ideological critique, the film shows the contradictory and hypocritical desires traversing the family structure as Alessandro engineers the ‘accidental’ deaths first of his mother then of his disabled brother. He does this ‘for’ his older brother Augusto, the only one who has a seemingly ‘normal’ life with outside work and a fiancée. Augusto’s repressed desires to be liberated from his ‘abnormal’ family are enacted by his younger brother.


As Karl Schoonover puts it: ‘The deaths in this film occur through surprisingly gentle and unspectacular means: the tap of a finger, the gentle coaxing of a head slipped underwater and, finally, the decision to stay in bed and do nothing. According to Bellocchio’s view of the film, ‘violence arises and breeds in a refusal to accept reality’ (2006). This gestural madness which reaches its apotheosis in Alessandro’s epileptic seizure, was reflected in the bold cinematic style of the film which involved abrupt and nonrealist editing, at times almost approaching Soviet avant-garde practices of ‘intellectual montage’. However, the montage here is not confined to a purely political or social plane but operates on a plane of desire and psychoses, echoing and amplifying the familial tensions within the scenario as a form of collective articulation of group psychosis. Later Bellocchio would make the collective anti psychiatric film Fit to be Untied.
