"Someone Else's America"
1996
Directed by Goran Paskaljevic
Paskaljevic's tender,
funny story of the failed American Dream stars Tom Conti (Shirley Valentine) as the
Spanish immigrant Alonso, who lives with his blind mother above the dingy bar he owns in
Brooklyn. His comic counterpart is Bayo (Miki Monojlovic), an illegal immigrant from
Montenegro who toils away at odd jobs in pursuit of the American dream. A rich ensemble
piece, it is a heartwarming tale of loss, displacement and, ultimately, the power of
friendship. English and Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles.
116 minutes. |
