Storyline
As Italy enters WWII, a teenage boy in a small, narrow-minded Sicilian town becomes obsessed with a young woman.
Review
8.5
“This film masterfully captures the brutal burden of beauty through the eyes of an infatuated adolescent. While visually stunning and emotionally resonant, its narrative sometimes struggles to clearly articulate Malena's internal world, leaving her more as an object than a fully realized character.”
Recommended For
Viewers who appreciate European art-house cinema, coming-of-age stories, and visually rich historical dramas with a strong emotional core.
