The small island of Linosa off Sicily is inhabited by a small fishing community. The order of families, who have a happy and orderly life, is disrupted as illegal immigrants start to come to the island. The family of fishermen take an Ethiopian woman and her young child home, even if it is illegal, after they manage to escape from a sinking ship. Life for this small fisherman family will never be as comfortable as it used to be. Because their boats are confiscated and the woman who starts living in their house gives birth. Italy's 2012 Oscar-nominated Terraferma is a survivalist film about immigration and morality. Competing in the 31st Istanbul Film Festival Human Rights in Cinema Competition, Terraferma received the UNICEF Award as well as the Special Jury Award in Venice in 2011.
Leave your thoughts about Terraferma.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghCrialese and co-screenwriter Vittorio Moroni portray a way of life on that island in complete uproar .. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereAnother fine piece of work from one of the world's major filmmaking talents. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaTerraferma offers a sun-splashed meditation on compassion, tradition, tolerance, and generational change. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinA stirring commentary on our better angels. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFails to be convincing when it resorts to a paternalistic lecture on the right way to behave in modern times. |
| Film Comment MagazineFernando F. CroceAs the protagonist's solidarity is put to the test, however, Terraferma slides from detail-rich fable to Important Issue statement, its symbolism growing leaden and its characters shedding their eccentricities for masks of nobility. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathThe visuals are memorable, and so are the characters and their moral dilemmas. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeEurope’s immigration dilemma was also the focus of Aki Kaurismaki’s winsome “Le Havre,” and the Africans themselves were front and center in Moussa Touré’s “La Pirogue.” This film is somewhat less effective; Crialese’s message seems to take priority over a deeper sense of individuals. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifforduses an astonishingly beautiful setting to explore just who has a right to it. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Cliffordlooks great and the screenplay, by director Crialese and Vittorio Moroni, is a nicely layered work that composes its several stories like a symphony. |
