With \u201cA Chiara,\u201d the writer-director adds another facet to the earlier stories, one more intimately connected to the region\u2019s mafia, but it\u2019s perhaps too soon to call Carpignano\u2019s three features a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>tych since the panorama he\u2019s built could easily keep extending further.<\/p>\n<p>Although each film is a standalone, the recurrence of characters from the earlier stories offers a greater sense of how multiple strata of society interact, and it\u2019s this understanding of interconnectivity determined by, yet shifting outside ethnicity and class, that creates such a complex and ultimately realistic picture. Carpignano\u2019s focus here on 15-year-old Chiara (a radiant Swamy Rotolo), like his earlier spotlight in \u201cA Ciambra\u201d on 14-year-old Pio, is a natural way of prepping the audience\u2019s sympathies, but he aims beyond easy generational assumptions, and even more noticeably than in his sophomore work, he\u2019s imbibed some lessons from Martin Scorsese (who also exec produced that earlier film) in refusing to presume a judgmental stance. \u201cA Chiara\u201d will likely expand the director\u2019s visibility and send people back to watching his earlier features.<\/p>\n<p>Chiara\u2019s world is about to turn upside-down, which is why the camera at the start gets so close that the screen is an abstract canvas seemingly rotated sideways. She and her close-knit family the Guerrasios are about to celebrate the 18th birthday of their eldest, Giulia (Grecia Rotolo). Before the festivities, they\u2019re all seen in the playful warm-blanket security of home (the atmosphere of love and ease comes effortlessly given that they\u2019re all played by the Rotolo clan). Carpignano spends a lot of time at the birthday party \u2014 too much time perhaps \u2014 though the extended scenes allow us to observe and almost partake in the dynamics, with hints of typical teenage rivalry but mostly love and support, especially between Chiara and her taciturn father (Claudio Rotolo).<\/p>\n<p>Later that night a car explodes across the street from the Guerrasio home and Chiara sees her father fleeing over a low wall. Her mother Carmela (Carmela Fumo) acts like it\u2019s nothing to worry about, exuding reassurances to her three daughters but not offering any answers. The next day there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> story about Claudio, unequivocally naming him as part of a criminal organization, and the wall of silence at home becomes unbearable, especially after Chiara discovers a hidden bunker accessible through a secret panel in the living room. When she tries talking with her sister about it, Giulia turns up the car radio\u2019s volume and mouths she should shut up, furthering Chiara\u2019s feeling of having stumbled upon a secret only she didn\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n<p>Carpignano risks the suspension of disbelief: Is Chiara really so na\u00efve she never knew Claudio was connected with the \u2018Ndrangheta? Yet the sympathies developed in the earlier scenes allow us to put that niggling concern aside. Sensing her protected world suddenly destabilized, Chiara acts out, indulging her ingrained anti-Roma racism by tossing a firecracker at some peers (played by actors from \u201cA Ciambra\u201d). The next day a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> worker turns up at school and Chiara is told she\u2019s being placed in foster care in order to ensure she\u2019s removed from the harmful criminal influences of home.<\/p>\n<p>The film doesn\u2019t demonize the social worker, nor does it make light of criminal activity: One could argue that by not showing the horrific toll of the illegal drug trade, Carpignano brushes it under the carpet and lets the notoriously violent \u2018Ndrangheta off light, but this isn\u2019t a film about the mafia. Instead, it\u2019s about growing up inside a loving community that harbors a terrible secret, and whether breaking apart a family is really the best way of breaking up The Family. Even more, \u201cA Chiara\u201d allows Carpignano an opportunity to turn his generous gaze on another ignored segment of Calabrian society, one whose values \u2014 family, mutual support \u2014 can\u2019t be dismissed because we\u2019re uncomfortable with how they exist side-by-side with a sense of ethics that stops at the bounds of kinship.<\/p>\n<p>This sense of what lies not just below the surface but also what\u2019s inside and out is reinforced by the attention paid to interior and exterior, and what that conveys. Whereas in \u201cA Ciambra\u201d the Amatos spent as much time as possible outdoors, here the Guerrasios are indoor dwellers, creating nests for themselves that keep them close to each other while ensuring the outside world can\u2019t enter. Bunkers play with the notion of an underworld in both criminal and mythological senses, offering safe havens yet instilling a fear of being buried alive with no certainty of what the world will be like once it\u2019s possible to emerge. In Chiara\u2019s neighborhood, night holds no fears: Instead it\u2019s the revelations of the day that are most frightening.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Curtin\u2019s dynamic camera is attuned to Chiara\u2019s teenage energy without going overboard, playing on a liminal balance between security and imbalance. Carpignano uses music to even more forcefully reflect Chiara\u2019s life, though its omnipresence risks driving the film\u2019s moods rather than eliding with them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
