Gianni Amelio's Nessun Dolore has been reviewed at the Venice film festival. The film is a fairytale of Rome, about the liberal white guilt of those who live a prosperous pain-free existence and those whom Frantz Fanon called the wretched of the earth. It follows Davide, a secondhand book dealer, as he becomes embroiled in the life of a young boy from a north African migrant family.
