4.0 out of 5 stars
Touching film on the lives of street kids,
This review is from: Ali Zaoua - prince de la rue (VHS Tape)
A variation on Hector Babenco's great 'Pixote', this follows the same theme
of abandoned street kids in Latin America, being played by real street kids. But "Ali" is much less gritty and naturalistic in style, if not story. Beautiful widescreen photography, some playful animated moments, and a slightly less despairing feel (although it's still pretty dark). A young street boy is killed, and his friends try to figure out how to get him properly buried, while fending off attacks from the local street gang, finding the boy's mother, etc. Very well acted for the most part, and has it's share of touching, heartbreaking moments. But it also feels manipulative and 'moviesh' at others. Certainly a good film, if not quite at the amazing level of it's ancestors. |
