Kaos, born out of the intrinsic ties between Pirandello, his native Sicily and those who throughout past and present have molded the living spirit of the island, reaches into the personal experiences of its author as more than just the recollections of an individual. Pirandello’s stories draw from more than pure imagination, instead they are the living inheritance of a land with a living memory. These experiences are not endemic to Pirandello alone. The Tavianis remind us that we all are but a collection of feelings, histories and relationships that are blown like echoes of the land and washed ashore for us to pick up and carry forward for those that follow.

Beautifully shot and I think I love anthology movies! I could have done with much less animal violence.
