Apart from the fact that Baaria is boring and far from other Tornatore's successful films, I would like to focus on the fact that in 2009 a director like him allows the murder of an animal just to shoot a vivid scene. A cow gets hit with an awl in the head, and then it is left bleeding on the floor; this scene, as the director admitted, was shot in Tunisia where killing animals on screen is allowed. This is absurd and I hope the audience will refuse this movie due to the choice of the director. I truly hope it will not be released in many countries, because of that. A cow gets killed there. If you love animals, don't even look at the poster of Baaria. Thanks.
