few words about this film, seen yesterday in a film club.
Beautiful, truly remarkable. It was not nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film, but I at least would have deserved the nomination.
The film tells the story of a Sicilian family who embarks for America in the early twentieth century. The film portrays a historical event with a cut dream. Departure is from the movie realistic, with a beautiful description of the harsh lives of Sicilian peasants. But realism is then told in a surreal way, creating a nice combination, strong and very modern. The film recounts the journey of the protagonists progressing to view and concepts. The high points are its scenes of dreams, he falls a bit 'in the rhetoric in the final moments, where it is highlighted the treatment of Italians from the Americans. It can be described as almost a surreal-realist film. Particular the fact that never show this "Golden Door", which remains as an ideal destination. In fact I do not even seem like you never talk to America or the United States, but only Golden Door.
unique photographs, especially the performers, all really good. Charlotte Gainsbourg courageous, brave his father, the boy mute, but the great old mother of extraordinary power. With a look and even without speaking, able to convey so much. only flaw is given by the subtitles. The film is almost entirely in Sicilian dialect. But you do not understand how they are used for subtitles: sometimes appear even when you understand the dialogue, sometimes when not needed are not there. Film remarkable and worth seeing.
