Movie Reviews of Acla's Descent into Floristella (La Discesa di Acl? a Floristella)
Movie Review: Pretty tough
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie gives a little bit of something to dislike about these people! It isn't about man/boy love or even gay love -- there's damn little love in it at all! We witness one violent act after the other -- rapes, beatings -- you name it -- selfish, horny, frustrated boys and men and woman.
It seems like I wouldn't really care for it for in the end it did the job -- it made one re-consider the way humans can treat each other most especially it reminds us of how some places in the world place a value on our children that we could never imagine.
Summary of Acla's Descent into Floristella (La Discesa di Acl? a Floristella)
Set in Sicily in the 1930s, Aurelio Grimaldis feature debut chronicles the harsh story of twelve-year-old boy, Acl?, sold into slavery by his destitute parents to work in the underground Floristella sulfur mines. Overworked and underfed, Acl? toils from Monday to Saturday in the steamy, candle-lit labyrinths. Repeatedly beaten and abused by his owner and with constant threats of being raped, Acl? plots his escape to the sea...but this leads to dire consequences for the boy and his family.Drama DVD Video
