Cinema Italiana - Terraferma


They might have no idea how to govern their country, but Italians really know how to make a phenomenal movie.  It's no secret that Italian cinema has a long history and prestigious reputation in the cinema world, but today my language class went to il Cinema Odeon to see a movie that was just recently shown at the Venice Film Festival.  It was absolutely amazing!  The story was powerful, the images intense, and the acting some of the best I've seen in a while.  It depicts the struggles of poor southern Italian families in Italy today, and the increasingly serious immigration issues.  I highly recommend the film to anyone who speaks Italian or loves a good subtitled foreign film.  Check out da trailer, you won't regret it.
