YOUR RATING

Carmen Aguirre, Karen Wong, Andrew Forbes, Carla Jones, Carolyn Combs, Michael Springate, Victor Martinez Aja, and Robert Murphy in Bella Ciao! (2018)

Vancouver's most cosmopolitan street - Commercial Drive - is the
nexus for Carolyn Combs' compassionate and heartfelt ensemble drama, a film about home, displacement, community, isolation, and solidarity. Unfolding over the course of just one day, the film hinges on Constanza (Carmen Aguirre), a Chilean refugee and activist whose relationship with her daughter is stress-tested by serious health concerns they would rather not have to confront. But this is just one thread amidst an Altmanesque carnival of characters from myriad walks of life: artists, hustlers, restauranteurs, and the coffee house consiglieri who converge on the Drive on a daily basis. Viva East Van!
