There’s no
question that immigration has been a hot-button political topic worldwide in
recent years, but director Matteo Garrone (Gomorrah) wisely takes a humanist
approach to the topic with his latest film, Io Capitano. Nobody likes
being preached to while watching movies, even those of us who appreciate more
than the simple escapism of Hollywood genre films. Instead, we like to be told
stories with characters we can connect with, and that is what Io Capitano
excels at above all else. The fact that the story Garrone is telling happens to
resemble the reality of many humans living on this planet today only adds to
the power of the storytelling.
