A CHIARA (15)
Director: Jonas Carpignano, Italy, 2021, 15, 121mins, subtitles
Jonas Carpignano continues his ’Ndrangheta mafia series with a drama where crime tests the bonds of a close-knit Calabrian family. The story is centred on Chiara (Swamy Rotolo) an inquisitive 15-year-old girl who is caught within a web of lies as she investigates her father’s sudden disappearance, with the gulf between her and the rest of her family only expanding. There’s a sparky authenticity to the performances, bolstered by the fact that Carpignano cast a real-life family in the central roles.
