It’s an audacious directorial debut, particularly for Italy in 1965, still trying to stitch itself together after the war and, cinematically, completely in the thrall of neo-realism, which was just beginning to peter out. Along with Bernardo Bertolucci’s debut, released the year before, “Fists” heralded a new period in Italian cinema. But, “Fists” is also entertaining, even now. Families are often embarrassing...

Foreign interference destroys civilian lives, institutions, and infrastructure, and provides a pretext for heightened repression. Solidarity with Iranian dissidents must be sophisticated enough to avoid manipulation by the neo-conservative agenda. Make no mistake, the first victims of any U.S. aggression against Iran—completely left out of the agenda of the “Freedom Concert”—would be on-the-ground Iranian progressives. “We are under pressure here both...
