Rojo como el cielo

Though this film was made in 2006, it possesses a tone far more antiquated. As if it were filmed in the nineties.

One of my greatest fears in life is to lose my sight and hearing, which, as someone who already suffers from color blindness and hearing loss, I live with a limited use of these faculties...

Here, the children live with my fears. "Rosso come il cielo" is a film truly underrated. Especially with its narrative style that pays homage to Balkan and Iranian cinema, and the magnificent musical scores of Ezio Bosso accompanying the marvelous cinematography of Vladan Radovic.

This small but grand film, adapted from the memoirs of Italian sound designer Mirco Mencacci, is a cinematic work that anyone who wishes to question their capacity for empathy should watch.
