Giganti

About This Movie

Giganti, directed by an unknown hand, is this raw, atmospheric piece that dives deep into the labyrinth of a young boy's adolescence in southern Italy. Pietro, at just 15, grapples with the harsh realities of his environment, and boy, do they hit hard. The silence surrounding the mafia's grip is palpable, and it’s striking how the film captures that weight—like a thick fog that envelops everything. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the tension and the discomfort of growing up too fast. Performances feel genuine, almost like you're eavesdropping on real life. It's not flashy, but that’s what gives it a distinctive edge. There's a realness here, a reflection of innocence lost too soon.
