I'M NOT SCARED (2003)

While playing outside one day, nine-year-old Michele discovers Filippo, who is chained to the ground at the bottom of a hole.

Based on the 2001 novel by Niccolò Ammaniti, I’m Not Scared was nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear and the 2003 Berlin International Film Festival.

“In the guise of a nerve-jangling thriller, director Gabriele Salvatores, an Oscar winner for Mediterraneo, delivers a fierce, frightening and deeply moving study of childhood. It’s a keeper.” – Rolling Stone
