Tuvalu (1999)
one of the best films of the decade

I had the luck to see it at a festival for young directors in Salerno and I was surprised it won for a few votes only.There is something that recalls Chaplin and Beckett's theatre works(the acting,of course)and it also quotes Jean Vigo's L'Atalante in many shots.There is also a quotation from Nosferatu in the early minutes!This flavour of old time silent film is even more present in the wonderful photography and the surrealistic scenography.I love this film and I think that it is far better than Kusturica has done.Moreover the style,so refined, is quite different from Kusturica's works.And mind that the director had made only short films before!
