About
You may like this if you enjoy poetic, folklore-tinged anthologies and the rural intensity of Padre Padrone or The Night of the Shooting Stars; Not for you if you want a fast, tightly plotted story.
Pros: poetic Sicily setting; haunting atmosphere; rich music and emotion | Cons: very long runtime; uneven story strength; slow pacing
