True Sicilian Culture,
This review is from: Orange Thief,The (DVD)
Amazing movie one of my favourites! I do not have exceptional Italian language knowledge so the subtitles are brilliant. It is a must see for anyone who is intersted in Sicilian culture and experiences.

A taste of Sicily; an ocean of life,
By marni giovanna "madisonmarni" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Orange Thief,The (DVD)
I love the Orange Thief! It takes a bit to get into, but is well worth it. It's as beautiful, funny, sad and human as Sicily itself. And could it be that with all its fruit, almonds, olives and "batches" (beaches), Sicily is still so poor because, like Rosalba, it shoots itself in the hand? If you have Southern Italian or Sicilian roots, you may see your relatives in some of these characters, or, as I did, in myself.If you came to this movie for the Italian language, you may be disappointed. There is much Sicilian dialect, so the only recognizable Italian you hear may be that spoken by the prison guard and the tourist - disgraziati! What ties all together is the music - great Sicilian folk music. I hope this group produces more music, and many, many more movies! 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful

A Warm and Wonderful Comedy!,
By T. Hanover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Orange Thief,The (DVD)
Saw this at the 2006 Milwaukee Film Festival where it received a standing ovation. The audience LOVED it, and so did I. Charming, funny, at times philosophical and ultimately emotionally moving, with some great music to boot. Why no film distributors snapped this one up really baffles me. I couldn't wait to see it again and I'm happy it's now available on DVD.

must-see film,
By Emily W "e dubs" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Orange Thief,The (DVD)
The Orange Thief is a must-see movie for anyone who loves thoughtful foreign-language films, great music, a simple tale told masterfully and/or Sicily. I too saw this at the Milwaukee Film Festival and fell in love with it. In fact, I had some of the soundtrack in my head (in a good way) for a good while. I bought it the day it came out and have already watched it twice!
