4 FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHT ALÌ BLUE EYES Original title: Alì ha gli occhi azzurri English title: Alì blue eyes Directed by: CLAUDIO GIOVANNESI cast: Nader Sarhan, Stefano Rabatti, Brigitte Apruzzesi Production: Acaba productions and Rai Cinema Genre: Drama Length: 99' ROME FILM FESTIVAL GÖTEBORG FILM FESTIVAL HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Claudio Giovannesi s first dramatic feature is an engrossing coming-of-age story following one week in the life of sixteen-year-old troublemaker Nader, an immigrant teenager who stops at nothing to fit in to Italian youth culture despite his family s insistence that he respect his Egyptian and Muslim roots. He gets into fights, does drugs, steals and pursues an Italian girlfriend against his mother s threats to disown him. It is a wonderfully non-judgmental study of a young man caught between conflicting states Arab and Italian, childhood and adulthood, right and wrong and the lesson he learns. The performances from the non-professional cast, most of whom are playing close versions of themselves, contribute to the work as being a stunning example of Italian Neorealism. Giovannesi won a special jury prize at the Rome Film Festival for this film. New York Cool review
