The reasons behind this year’s choice were outlined like this: “By giving its prize of the Best European Film of the Year 2003 to Marco Bellocchio's Good Morning, Night, FIPRESCI wants to single out not only a masterpiece, one of the author’s best, but also an outstanding filmography, which goes back to 1965 and comprises more than twenty films".
