L'orizzonte chiuso
Directed by Luca BrignoneThe original Italian title is 'Per un Nuovo Domani'. It's the forgotten story of a group of non-Italian Jews, who had fled to Italy from Nazi occupied countries in Europe, who were forced to migrate to a small place in Tuscany, 'Castelnuovo di Garfagnana', when the 'racial laws' were passed by the fascist government, following the German rules against the Jews. Theirs was a secluded and difficult life, but still a bearable life until the fall of the Mussolini government. When the Republic of Salò was created in the northern areas of Italy, after the September 8th, 1943, armistice with the Allied Armies, who had landed in the Sicily island in the month of July of the same year, the life of the small Jews community turned to the bad. Some of them ran away, but most of them didn't and were abducted to German concentration camps, where they lost their lives. The whole movie is made of a medley of real 20th century footage along with scenes that were shot with actors, playing the main roles. It's worth watching. It's an 8 points movie in my opinion.
