In Italian and Sicilian with English subtitles • Jim Jarmusch shot a musical Sicilian folktale, it might look, and sound, something like this delightful, rustic charmer. Our spunky hero is determined to someday own a plot of land, an unlikely prospect given his hapless, miscreant nature. He survives by stealing and bartering oranges, earning countless beatings and a stint in jail. His cellmate, murderer and refined epicurean Turrido, offers a scrap of land in exchange for our man's recording of Turrido's lady love, Rosalba, singing. But Rosalba is a tough nut, and it requires every bit of charm, cunning and joyful serenading to crack her defenses. A paean to dreams, friendship and the beauty of music, The Orange Thief aptly reflects its own idealistic origins: A band of Americans, Italians and a lone Frenchman met in the remote town of Lucca-Sicula without a script to create a film from scratch, resulting in a film that sparkles with the effervescence of life. — M. Fox
