The Uncle from Brooklyn

The best italian film of the 90s the most extreme and radical work since SALO a ruthless representation in a surrealmetaphorical key of a civilization condemned to worshipping its own blindness The two sicilian directors use a language free from compromise and from the traditional storyline rules the movie is photographed in a sharp and very contrasting black white with no beautiful pimp music and lacks a logical story There are no women the ones we see are actually men and the language is strict sicilian dialect The directing style is characterized by long fixed shots on a postatomic world which is really presentday Palermo inhabited by fat people in socks and underwear who burp and fart while roaming around smelly alleyways and waste dumps
