Movie Reviews of Acla's Descent into Floristella (La Discesa di Aclą a Floristella)
Movie Review: someone Cares
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very well acted film, The lead character was too young to realize the horrors he would encounter in those mines, both physical and mental. Way to brutal for even those times, the issues were handled somewhat well, or rather glossed over.
Summary of Acla's Descent into Floristella (La Discesa di Aclą a Floristella)
Set in Sicily in the 1930's, Aurelio Grimaldi's feature debut chronicles the harsh story of twelve-year-old boy, Aclą, sold into slavery by his destitute parents to work in the underground Floristella sulfur mines. Overworked and underfed, Aclą 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, Aclą plots his escape to the sea...but this leads to dire consequences for the boy and his family.Similar DVD Movies
