A Ciambra (2017). Wached it on bluray
Best italian movie I have watched in a while. Actually, I can't remember any other movie in italian in the last 10 years that is even close to this one. Actually, make that 20 years.
With a full cast of non-professional actors, the movie feels almost like a documentary. Very simple plot, basically a "day in the life of" Pio, a 14-year old romani (gypsy) boy.
*the movie is not about one single day, I mean that it is in that style, a snapshot of his life.
It may start a bit slow, just give it 5 minutes, it will take you into that world.
8 out of 10. Plus extra gold star for showing that environment/neighborhood/lifestyle to the world.
