I cinghiali di Portici
Wild Boars of Portici
Director Olivares dryly and neo-realistically sidesteps all the pitfalls
that a film about how "sport makes you a better person" would hold. The result is austere, semi-documentary poetry, which
tells "staying close to the protagonists" how difficult it is to keep fighting before empty bleachers against habitually losing.
