If you loved Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, try Sicily!

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Danièle Huillet, Jean-Marie Straub, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

slow burn

What Sicily! is

Rossellini without sentiment. A man returns to Sicily after years away, encountering the island's stark beauty and blunt truths through a series of encounters. The austere style amplifies the grit and fatalism.
