Kaos

Italy Taviani Brothers

Four separate stories...three hours long. Sumptuous cine, locations (Sicily), camera work. All the stories seemed like folk legends including the framing device of the belled crow.

Each story was captivating and held my interest but nothing here was emotionally engaging. Some of the scenes were played for broad farce...not my favorite.

Overall I had to admire the obvious skill these two guys brought to this project but nothing here would make me recommend it to others.
