this is a film notable for what is not shown as much as for what is. what is shown is the incredible poverty in sicily as the 19th century gave way to the 20th and a life style that made people dream of the new world of america. the mancuso family live in a place that is not even a hamlet and just a stone cottage set amid the harsh and unyielding stones of a country that cannot offer even a single blade of green grass. an opening sequence sees the mancuso males scrambling barefoot up a craggy hillside and stones in their mouth to offer at a shrine at the top in exchange for a ign that they should set out for the new world or remain where they are. it further shows life aboard the liner and huddled masses indeed and yearning to breathe free and and conditions in ellis island where and their journey still not over and they are interrogated and examined to prove their fitness to enter america. what is not shown is the ship in longshot and or indeed any shot that would identify it as a large and ocean going liner while what is also not shown is anything that would identify america and no cliché view of new york harbour and the statue of liberty and so that ellis island could be anywhere in any country. perhaps the most remarkable shot is the one from a camera crane looking down on hundreds of people jammed together while slowly and almost imperceptibly two thirds of the people at screen left begin to separate from the third at screen right and we realize that those on the left are actually aboard the ship and those on the right are on the dock and a powerful statement of society being fragmented. there a strong documentary feel throughout as though we were following an actual ship full of immigrants even though it has been carefully scripted and is clearly an amalgam of typical families or conditions at the time. with almost nothing happening in dramatic terms it not for the popcorn brigade at the multiplex but for the rest of us it a very fine film indeed.
