I very much like the would-be critic above who said: \&************* far too surrealistic and only sporadically at that.\" This is junk writing ****** best.

I am so sorry I was not able to see it as I feel I would have enjoyed since my parents made that perilous journey and I remember the sories my mother told me of the crossing. I live on Staten Island ... and was not able to get to Manhattan where it was playing. I hope I will be able to see it on DVD. Thank you for your input. Ceciliagallo@aol.com Full Review

I really enjoyed this movie!! It was very realistic and showed the hard life the Italians had in Sicily at the turn of the century. The voyage was long on then and then they had to endure the hardship... s at Ellis Island. I think every Italian should see this film!! and even if your not Italian it shows other imigrants from other countries and they had similiar hardships. A must to see and have if they ever put it on dvd.Ciaoanita1@aol.com Full Review

Can a film be more boring???First off - it's far too surrealist and only sporadically at that.The trend has been over - Dali is dead.Every scene is so prolonged. We got the point after the first few ... cuts.The in crowd will want to tell you how deep is the notion of swimming in milk - complete with the phallic carrot. But it's pointless self indulgence. The few good points, if you speak Italian, are hearing the Sicilian dialect, the Sicilian music and the isolated Sicilian notion of what it means to be Italian.STAY HOME unless you need a good place for a nap - or - if you want to swoon with the pretense of engaging in a "deep" film.
