Boatman (1993)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 1993, Documentary, Gianfranco Rosi, India, Italy
  • Leave a comment

Rosi’s eye-opening first-ever documentary could be his finest—he plants his camera on a boat along the holy Ganges River, capturing the assortment of sights, sounds and fervent opinions, as it meditates on the cycles of life and death.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

El Sicario: Room 164 (2010)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 2010, Documentary, France, Gianfranco Rosi, Mexico, USA
  • Leave a comment

You won’t believe that a documentary centering entirely on a masked man with a notepad in a motel room can be so compelling—and harrowing—as Rosi gives us a shocking exposé on the inner workings of drug cartels in Mexico.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Nomadland before Nomadland, Rosi’s raw, no holds barred documentary on folks living in isolation on buses and vans in the Californian desert finds grace and empathy in their existence.

A deserving Golden Berlin Bear winner that powerfully documents the troubling migrant crisis from the vantage point of an Italian island and her life-goes-on inhabitants.

Sacro GRA (2013)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 2013, Documentary, Gianfranco Rosi
  • 3 Comments

Interesting and dull at the same time, this ‘documentary movie’ operates as a series of vignettes of people who live next to an enormous ring road around Rome.

⭐⭐⭐
