EUROPEAN THURSDAY: SEE TRAILERS FOR ITALIAN 19TH CENTURY THRILLER THE MUTE MAN OF SARDINIA WITH ANDREA ARCANGELI AND 16TH CENTURY SET PORTUGUESE DRAMA THE CHILD

 THE MUTE MAN OF SARDINIA 

ITALIAN PERIOD SET MOVIE

The Mute Man of Sardinia is out today

Two international period set movies for you today, starting with Italian historical drama THE MUTE MAN OF SARDINIA (Il Muto di Gallura) from Matteo Fresi, a sophisticated western set in Sardinia in 1850 which explores an historic family feud and was competing over at the 39th Torino Film Festival starring Romulus' star Andrea Arcangeli. I already mentioned this one before, but now we have a trailer too as it opens in cinemas today in Italy. In the true life story about the feud between the Vasa and Mamia families, which caused the deaths of more than 70 people in mid-19th century Sardinia, Andrea plays deaf and mute

The film competed over at Turin Film Festival

Bastiano Tansu, who – mistreated and marginalized all his life – turned into a feared assassin, driven into a killing frenzy following his brother’s murder. Back in 1884 Enrico Costa wrote a book about this story famous in its region but not so much in the rest of Italy.

 

 

 THE CHILD 16TH CENTURY 

DRAMA FROM PORTUGAL

The Child was out in Portugal in February

After Italy straight over to Portugal where we have period set drama movie THE CHILD (A criança) which already had its release last month in its homecountry and will move over to France in April. Joao Arrais plays an adopted young man called Bela who, living in the middle of the 16th century, somewhere near Lisbon, tries to find his place in a family that is free but trapped in a world where each shadow allows defects to shine through. Here, everything leads to disaster. Marguerite de Hillerin and Félix Dutilloy Liégeois’s first feature length film, is loosely based on Heinrich von Kleist’s “The Foundling". As Cineuropa writes, the story is set in the Portuguese countryside in the sixteenth century, a time when the country's conservative religious traditions were dominant, and follows Bela, an orphan adopted by a French-Portuguese aristocratic couple. The film mostly focuses on this character’s relationships: with his adopted parents, his friends, his lover and with the people who work for him and his family. It depicts the emotionally and psychologically driven cinematic movements in the story of a young boy who seems to be at a time of self-discovery and at the epicentre of the dynamics of his household.
