Another example of why European cinema throws up so many more interesting films than our American counterparts. And why is this?
Because they usually deal with humanity rather than machinery.
Il Grande Cocomero delivers characters you can identify with, multi-dimensional people, foibles and all, that are totally recognisable and there's not one special effect in sight.
This film puts humanity first, and is so much the richer for that. A little gem.
