Quando sei nato non puoi più nasconderti (2005)

An Italian film with material about prison-like camps for asylum-seekers and gangsters shipping illegal immigrants to Italy? That sounds political. But even though Quando sei nato... raised interesting & important questions, it didn't dig deep enough. Instead, it focused on its core story about a boy falls into the water on a boat trip with his father & is fished out by a boat of illegal immigrants. The main problem with this film is that the focus is wrong. I would have craved for more sociology or at least a more interesting cinematic experience. This is not to say that the film lacks qualities. The depiction of a very middle-class relation to money is very alarming: guilt has a price, guilt is something you can pay off with a suitable amount of money.
