I am not scared


I am not scared (108 min)
Seen on the 23rd May 2008


This is a very interesting film about a country side boy. In a way it reminded me of Vitorio de Cica's "bicycles thieves". It is a brilliant film leading you through his life for which at every moment you discover new clues about the truth. It is set in the Italian countryside where Michele discovers a weird boy around his age who is hidden in a whole near his home.

Little by little, following Michele's steps you discover the truth about this other boy and a series of disconcerting truths about his family. The film really guided my journey from Michele's point of view and the events that follow. The scenery shown on the film is very inspiring and only darkened by the truth about this small Italian family. Very good film.
