It looks like Italy is waking up to its multicultural make-up finally.
First we had in December the wonderful "La Vita D'avanti a se" with Sophia Loren, and now this absolute gem, ZERO, the first ever Italian film or series centered around the lives of Black youth.
Bravo Netflix for unearthing this gem, and the soundtrack is just brilliant - I have bought most of the songs.
We are used to multicultural films in France, many of which have won our Cesars, so no wonder ZERO is at 7.5 in France, but the current 5.6 rating on IDMB is a bad reflection on IDMB's audience rather than on this series.
Inventive, Positive, Difficult at times, Imaginative, Realistic while light, this was a wonderful series which our entire household gobbled up in one night.
Italy - Keep waking up, we love it !
