 I'm Not Scared (DVD)
 I'm Not Scared (DVD) ... December, 2004 at Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainm / Features of the DVD: PAL / Italian director Gabriele Salvatores masterfully directs this eerie and engrossing suspense thriller involving a 10-year-old boy who lives in rural southern Italy. It is summertime and Michele (Guiseppe Cristiano) is free to spend the long sunny days riding his bike and running through the wheat fields. In fact, the wheat could be considered Michele's costar, as it often consumes the entire scope of the screen showing how Michele plays, hides, and ponders life in the vast expanses of flowing yellow stalks. Because there are only a few other children in the village Michele often plays alone, and one day he discovers a hole in the ground, obscured by wheat, where a boy his age is chained and imprisoned. The boy has clearly been starved and mistreated, yet Michele approaches him fearlessly and attempts to make friends with him. With the dreaminess that is a 10-year-old's truest treasure, Michele doesn't ask too many questions, nor does he draw conclusions about why the boy is in the hole, or who put him there.Newest Review: ... out from a heap of rags, if it belongs to a dead or living human being isn’t obvious, he quickly closes the lid again and ... more ... rides home.
I’ve pondered on the question why he doesn’t tell his parents or his friends about his discovery, it seems odd, but the boy is shown as a dare devil as well as a dreamer, every night before he falls asleep he pulls his sheet over his head, switches on a torch and reads adventure stories, he doesn’t tell anyone because now he’s got a secret only for himself and he loves that.
The following day he rides back to the farmhouse and finds out that the leg belongs to the boy Filippo (Mattia di Pierro) from Milan a...more |

(film only review) When I think of the film, the colour yellow, the golden yellow of ripe grain, comes to my mind. After the lights came on, a woman in the cinema remarked, “I didn’t know that such a landscape existed in Italy.” Why should she, why should anyone? This is not tourist Italy, the film is set in the south of the region Apulia in the south of Italy, the sea is far away, there are no cultural highlights that would lure people to visit, it’s one of the parts of Italy people emigrate from.

Scorching southern Italy, 1978. Five children ride their bikes through golden fields to find a dilapidated house. In the middle of nowhere, they play there for a while, daring each other to do silly things - walking on a dangerous beam, rotting wood threatening to give way any minute and a nasty fall beckoning is the ultimate challenge. Michele is there with his younger sister, Maria. As they turn to go home, Maria realises she has forgotten her glasses. She’s upset and knows she’ll be in trouble if she returns without them, so Michele goes back, alone, to retrieve them. At the abandoned house, he sees a piece of corrugated iron obscuring a hole in ... Read the complete review
