Review of Borgo

Borgo (2023)
7/10
Corsican Noir
29 December 2024
If you watch this movie you are likely French-speaking or at most a Mediterranean-connoisseur attracted by the ways of this "little Island", not really French nor Italian (Genoan). If you just found it by chance you might miss a lot of the subtext which is directed to the audience: the tension is always there even when you can't see it, the inner issues of the modern Corsican society are depicted with a certain "finesse" but always expected (though addressing more directly, but partially only, the underlying racism). If you watched other Corsican movies or series (e.g. Mafiosa, which some actors played in) you know what to expect, the relentless corrupting wave of the Corsican "milieu" will wash away all hope. Interesting movie for the ones who know what they are watching.
