The Death of Klinghoffer, directed by Luca Guadagnino, has generated significant controversy due to its depiction of a cruise hijacking by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLF).

In a recent interview, Guadagnino shared insights into his motivations for staging this contentious work, despite the protests it has incited.
