Movie review
A young boy discovers a shocking secret in his isolated southern Italian village.
At first he thinks it is a fantasty or nightmare but gradually he realisesthe adults of the community have all engaged in a horrific crime. As he stuggles with his loyalities at home and his desire to save a new friend, you realise that he is showing true heroism. This is a beautiful story about a young boy conquering his fears. He is trying to do the right thing as well as save the villagers from their own worst enemies, themselves. The story is absolutely enthralling. The stark landscapes and stunning music makes it visually, a very beautiful film. However the boy conquering all in adversitity was definitely heart stopping. I cannot understand why this had an MA rating. I would be happy to let any 10 year old watch it, because it is truly inspiring.
Lizzie told me the book is even better than the movie, so I may have to buy the book for the library.
