Italians do it better...epic movie, based on a true story. Warning - beware the sheepshaggers!

A beautiful Italian movie about overcoming child abuse. It made me want to go to Sardinia.

Astonishing portrayal of a shepherd boy growing up in very hidebound traditional manner, very much at odds with the 20th century, but he overcomes immense difficulties and a very late start to gain an education. The scenes are often brutal, but not without poetry; a counterpoint to La Dolce Vita.

Padre Padrone seems a botched opportunity at a great emotional experience, a potential but unrealized classic.

This is a confronting film, and not just for the scenes involving bestiality, but because of the tyrant-like father and his treatment of his entire family. When the father removes his son from classes to tend to his family's flock he gives the children in class a stern reminder, today it is Gavino but tomorrow it is you, highlighting the lack of opportunities these children had growing up. The flight of many of these now young men to Germany offers a ray of hope to their dreary world, but the disappointment and despair that sets in as Gavino must return to his family and the countryside is truly palpable. This wasn't the easiest film to watch but it all combines to create a powerful experience from the in your face and flamboyant antics of the father to Gavino's simplistic and almost haunting whistling as a means of standing up once and for all to his father. Not for the feint hearted but well worthwhile if you can stick with it.
