| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzRecognized for the splendid landscape photography by Giuseppe Land. |
| User ReviewStella AWatched this at a film club at university 18 years ago. I still cannot forget i! Incredible images especially from the final story will be forever seared into my mind. Truly remarkable, lyrical and moving. |
| User ReviewGavin HAn homage to the land, the history, and the people of Sicily as seen through suffering, laughter, transformation and death. The stories in some ways show a dying sicily, where children leave for America, never to return. They also show a hardy, resilient people and the breathtaking geography of the island. |
| User ReviewMartin TAll of the stories are pretty good, except the fourth which involves some villagers making a whole lot of fuss over where they can bury their dead. My favorite was the third, about a potter who gets himself stuck in a jumbo-sized olive oil jar. I also thought the epilogue was incredibly beautiful. It's all very well done, and the music by Nicola Piovani is majestic and sublime. A little on the slow side, perhaps, but an improvement of the self-conscious Night of the Shooting Stars. |
| User ReviewNikolaos SBefore there were the Dardennes brothers there were the Taviani brothers..You have to wear your cinephile beret to watch this beautiful 3-hour movie:) |
| User ReviewKnut KThe Taviani Brothers charming film of several of Pirandelloâ??s short stories. The best screen portrayal of Sicilian folk culture, Kaos manages to combine drama, comedy and horror in one film. As always in cinema meridionalista, landscape plays a huge part; so too does the sea as the ghost of Pirandelloâ??s mother describes a childhood journey to the pumice mines of Lipari. A truly unique film, loosely connected by way of the prologue and epilogue, which examines all the historical preoccupations of southern Italy. |
| User ReviewJoe TApart from The Jar - Sloooow, and there seems nothing added with the length that couldn't have been done in half the time. |
| User ReviewRenée WWhile I appreciate Pirandello's plays, I thought this movie was quite boring at times (to the point that I fell asleep twice while watching it). I did appreciate the scenery and the look into rural Sicilian life. |
| User ReviewArianeta LAlmost 4 hours set in a theater wacthing the movie tried to make any sense of all those that happen in screen. At the end I realised that I lost my time and my good mood also. |
