History repeats itself in an intertwined story of two boxers struggling to survive inside and outside of the ring. Toscano, a young Sicilian, is fighting against his past. Barca, an African immigrant, is fighting for his future. When the tide changes, they have to fight for the present, as they battle against the realities of life in Sicily. The film weaves the sights, sounds and emotions of a gritty boxing tale within the context of broken relationships, hardships, and the cycles of Mediterranean history. What a beautiful country! And what a wonderful time I had capturing sound for this film. I also had the privelege of doing the post production audio for this one. The sound design was a blast! |
Film Studies professor, Dr. Oliver C. Speck, said some really nice things
about Acqua in a review he wrote for Film International Magazine about the
Taormina festival, pointing out that Acqua was "...one of the best films of
the festival." (This amongst such company as Hollywood's "Man of Steel"
and "The Lone Ranger"). You can read the full review here:
The 59th Taormina Film Fest
(Acqua review starts about 2/3 down the page).
