Directors: Matteo Zoppis, Alessio Rigo de Righi Rated: NR Runtime: 106 minutes Cast: Gabriele Silli, Maria Alexandra Lungu, Ercole Colnago Visually striking and narratively absorbing, The Tale of King Crab is a real cinematic delicacy.

His life becomes undone by alcohol, forbidden love, and a bitter conflict with the prince of the region over the right of passage through an ancient gateway. When the quarrel escalates, Luciano is exiled to the distant Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego where, with the help of ruthless gold-diggers, he searches for a mythical treasure, paving his way toward redemption. However, in these barren lands, only greed and insanity can prevail. |
