Picciridda - Con i piedi nella sabbia

What a movie! He starts slowly with a bit of drama, rolls and then runs into the storm !!!

The film deals with a lot of female characters and an insight into the destinies they carry.

It's a well done movie. It is slow, so be prepared for that.

I'm an actual, American man, and this movie did make me feel like a little Italian girl from the period that it is set in. That's pretty good.

The casting was impeccable.

There is a lot more that I would like to write about this film, but no spoilers from me.

Director Licata weaves a human tale that takes the viewer through a roller coaster of genuine emotions. Never cloying or sentimental, this film doesn't cater to its audience, instead drawing you in with an unflinching portrayal of human lives intertwined in joy, despair, love and indignity.

The actors are all natural and relatable, earning their way into your psyche. The director doesn't follow the Hollywood approach of talk, talk, talk but instead lets the faces, the streets, the ocean, the sky tell the tale, giving the audience an almost palpable sense of being alive. Best of all, I watched it two days ago and I'm still thinking - and feeling - about it.

This was a very beautiful film. I highly recommend watching it.

Unbelievably greater movie! Great story and unreal scenery.
