Went to see this movie last night in Oxford. Probably one of the slowest films with the least happening that I have ever seen - but actually it was perfect! Shot in Calabria - in part in Serra San Bruno - everyone will recognise a little vignette of Italian mountain village life.
And I learnt a huge amount about charcoal burning!

I really liked this film, I saw it last week at the Renoir.
it is not really about people, more about life in a remote place in Calabria.

, also very little dialogue either so not good for practising your Italian!

I too enjoyed the film, although I thought the last half hour about the charcoal burners did drag a little. Watching wood smoulder is only marginally more interesting than watching paint dry. The dog was a real star though!
