Movie Review: Lamerica
Summary: 5 Stars
Made at the height of the Albanian refugee crisis, Amelio's absorbing drama is a nightmarish vision of poverty, conflict, and despair in post-Communist Europe's most isolated nation. As Gino is systematically stripped of every luxury item and form of identification he possesses by the ruthless people he encounters, the irony of his situation becomes crystal clear, especially when brash exploiter-turned-weary refugee Gino (Lo Verso in an exquisite, haunting performance) joins a wave of migrants hoping to sneak across the border to the West--and a better life. Visually striking and genuinely moving, "Lamerica" is an unforgettable look at a land devastated by dictatorial politics and world neglect, and those desperate to leave.
