admirable

A great film. For the simple story, cinematography, sepia images . And for the references, from Chaplin dramas to Italian neorealism . A stranger. An incident. A boy. And , after the fight, a touching, impressive, great , unique friendship story. A film who must see. For the many virtues defining it. But, more important, for the atmosphere, the mix of Gipsies, garbage place, poetry of small gestures, the special end. A film from East. About East. As the essence of a perspective to discover and define the life absolutely impressive. Because it remains differennt by what you expect. This short film, extraordinary in each detail, is an usefull proof.
