"I'm Not Scared" is a fantastic Italian thriller about childhood, specifically about facing your first tough moral quandary and coming face-to-face with the world's capacity for evil. I don't want to say too much about the movie's plot because it will give away too many of its surprises. The story gets rolling when 10-year old Michele (Giuseppe Cristiano) and his discovery of a body hidden away in a pit near an abandoned farmhouse.
"I'm Not Scared" is a fantastic film that chills without cliché. The central conflict of the film involves the development of Michele's moral conscience and how his decision to act or to not to act will radically alter his world. It's a precisely, lovingly told tale that has a great ear and eye for the behavior and language of children. The cinematography is fantastic and the music is both haunting and beautiful. This movie's gonna stick with you long after you see it and is sure to emerge as a classic.
Go rent this one. Highly recommended.
