unlabelledView post →Io Capitano: Moving, vivid film following a teenager’s arduous and exploited journey from Senegal to Italy; not an easy watch, but there’s a thread of hope in the boy’s optimism in the face of horror, and the film hangs on a central sweet-faced and sweet-tempered performance from Seydou Sarr #gff24

The sound alone - Glazer & Burn described as a second movie - was all I want from sound design. Still: On how many more films do we just miss out?

Er en god grunn til at denne ble nominert til "beste internasjonale film". En godt filma odysse gjennom Afrika med godt og spennende manus og fantastiske skuespillere. Se den.

unlabelledView post →Watched Garrone's Io Capitano and the whole film I got the feeling the movie had to devolve so much effort to disproving racist myths around immigration & convincing an Italian audience to be empathic for the protagonist that the story suffers for it. Extremely necessary work but I am mad we need it
