- What is PA.RA.DA / The Past is a Foreign Land about?
PA.RA.DA, 2008, Rai Films, 100 min. Dir. Marco Pontecorvo. Directed by the son of filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo (BATTLE OF ALGIERS), this film recounts the true story of French-Algerian street clown Miloud Oukili, who arrived in Romania in 1992 to reach out to the street children of Bucharest. The tale is told unflinchingly without falling into sentimental traps.
THE PAST IS A FOREIGN LAND (IL PASSATO E’ UNA TERRA STRANIERA). 2008, Italy. Fandango. 127 min. Dir: Daniele Vicari. Rome and London Film Festivals. A slacker movie updated for the generation who wants luxury without working for it, thrills without consequences; a cautionary tale of how the weak are consumed by the strong, seduced by the aura of danger and left for dead in the endgame. With Elio Germano and Chiara Caselli.
