DVD Reviews of The Stolen Children
DVD Review: Powerful humanist film, shockingly unknown in the US,
Summary: 5 Stars
Terribly sad Italian neo-realist tale of a young cop assigned to escort a young, abused brother and sister across country to an orphanage, and the bond that grows between them, with unexpected results.
Perhaps a bit manipulative in the middle (the damaged kids respond a little too quickly to the cop's kindness), and the lead actor has his awkward moments along with some very strong ones (all three leads were non-professional actors).
But the two kids are remarkable for their ages, and the uncompromised honesty of the ending makes up for a few convenient twists, and `easy' transitions. Overall a powerful and moving film full of humanity. It's shocking and sad to think this award winning modern Italian classic is essentially unknown, and unavailable on video in the United States.
