Sicilia! (1999)
Beautiful Documentary
Beautiful historic documentary of the life in Sicily during the 30ies.
Stunning images on land, people and houses.
The majority of actors are villagers of Sicilian villages.
They speak in dialect, so it is difficult to understand the movie without subtitles. Central part in the movie are the oranges, that nobody wants to buy.
I saw the movie ten years ago and since then I didn't have occasion to saw it again. When I first saw the movie I also thought it is boring. I needed more years to understand that this is a great movie.
Hope everybody would get the chance to look at it, till the end.

Learning Chinese watching great movies!
I am a Chinese language learning and watched this movie during my third semester at university.
I would suggest to watch this movie to "all language learners from all over the world". it contains useful language patterns easily understandable for language learners of elementary levels: brand names lèhāhā mineral water or the parody of other brands like kěxiàokělè (instead of kěkǒukělè) and many others. it offers an intro in the dynamics of the Chinese advertisement and cinematography. it is hilarious and the parody of a blockbuster of the 80ies.
witty movie.
