If you loved Gomorrah, try Io Capitano

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 Matteo Garrone, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gomorrah, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Io Capitano is

The Odyssey without Homer. Two teenagers leave Dakar for Europe, hoping to find work. Their journey across the Sahara and the Mediterranean becomes a gauntlet of exploitation. A strong story of hope, made more affecting by its young leads.
