As I look back on my years growing up in Acqua Traverse there is one period that stands out above all others: when I was an accomplice in the kidnapping of Filippo Carducci. Filippo was the son of the wealthy Lombard business man Giovanni Carducci and a steep ransom was demanded in exchange for his life.

They looked at magic from a scientific point of view‚ and studied and wrote books on it. They were looking to make magic a legitimate practice.

The use of sound is evocative and potent as well‚ and I think effectively enhances meaning and atmosphere. It is a foreign language film‚ subtitled‚ but I have seen a diverse range of students of different abilities‚ ethnicities and gender consistently respond positively to this film. This is perhaps due to the accessibility of its narrative and
