One Day in a Life

Salvatore is a handsome man edging into middle age who spends his days savoring the beauty of the Italian seaside. One morning, Salvatore is taking in the sunrise over the dunes when he meets a beautiful woman, leading to a romantic interlude between them. It would seem to be an encouraging way to start the day, but Salvatore and his new lover soon happen upon a group of beachcombers who engage them in a conversation about love, philosophy and the future. What began as a beautiful day takes a subtle, unexpected turn and Salvatore begins contemplating the uncertain path of his life and wondering where he could go from here.

    Set in its entirety of a beach, this film explores themes of loneliness and self-discovery. Its biggest selling point is undoubtedly the naturalistic dialogue, which is improvised at times and captures the very essence of human interaction. Despite its production on a low budget, some of the cast are accomplished actors and provide powerful, compelling performances. A strong word of caution when it comes to nudity, which precludes family viewing. Indeed, a clothed Chiara Francini walks alongside a totally nude Antonio Merone, whose penis is visible to her and viewers for a number of minutes as he walks around the beach.

My Brother the Devil

Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.
