Excellent. A poignant story about a father and son.
Excellent,,
Great documentary. I recommend it!
A good one! With heart.
Been there, done that. While Pickle was pickling, or just before, a few years, my partner and I were creating our own two-person Cirque de Soleil, or mini-pickle circus. More poetry and dance and comedy, and a LOT less juggling and physical skill.... But it was the same idea, like La Strada, but not so sad. I loved this film and do not begrudge young Lorenzo his childhood lost. I think the answer to the question is that he had a wonderful childhood. All things considered...
