Mondocane (2021)
9/10
Gritty dystopian coming-of-age crime drama
3 December 2022
I saw no reviews for this film, so it urged me to write my first ever for IMDb.

I blind bought this blu ray from Kino Lorber and it did not disappoint. Carefully-crafted, complex characters develop in front of our eyes as they coexist in such a rich and densely-layered visual environment.

There is something for just about any genre fan here: character-driven drama, stunning effects, slick and well-choreographed action, and all the way from wide-eyed coming-of-age adventure to a bitter, dramatic climax. It is a search for family and meaning stuck in a bleak landscape.

See this underrated gem. Related viewing: "Rover" by David Michod.
