Raw Road Movie made enjoyable to watch
A film that allows you to evaluate a socio-political theme, strongly felt in Italy, from the perspective of the victims, first introducing the Senegalese culture and then following the migratory odyssey of two young boys towards an unknown Europe.
The journey from Dakar to Sicily, through the desert and sea, is inspired by real events lived by interviewed migrants.
The hardness and ruthlessness of these events is sweetened by dreamlike, magical, even mythological inserts, as if the told realities reached a level of incredibility such as to take the form of a fairy tale.
The choices of photography, screenplay and soundtracks are excellent and sometimes they elevate the raw scenes to a poetic level.
