Despite its focus on the destruction of a proud man who loses his livelihood, The Wide Blu Road is a gorgeous, lyrical film refusing to be boxed in by writer-director Gillo Pontecorvo’s bathetic class sympathies. Yves Montand plays Sqarcio, a fisherman on a small island off Italy’s Dalmation coast. With the fishing industry sqUzed by a wholesaler’s monopoly, the island is beset by economic depression and strains between men who earn little by fishing legally (using a net) and those–like Squarcio–who unlawfully use dynamite. Once Squarcio is deprived of his bombs, his (and his family’s) decline is a foregone conclusion in Pontecorvo’s fixed-destiny universe. Yet the director is hardly blind to his setting’s redemptive possibilities. The Adriatic island’s clarifying air, the dreamy, epic texture of the apposition of land and sea–such elemental beauty mysteriously, simultaneously heightens and ameliorates Squarcio’s predictable doom. –Tom Keogh
