Jane Campion is championing Matteo Garrone's 'Io Capitano,' Italy's Oscar-nominated contender for best international feature film. The movie follows the journey of two Senegalese teenagers, Seydou and Moussa, as they leave Dakar for Europe in search of a better life. The film has received critical acclaim, with Variety calling it Garrone's most robust work since 'Gomorrah.'
'Io Capitano' won best director and best emerging actor at the Venice Film Festival and best European film at San Sebastian. The movie is set for a U.S. release on Feb. 23 by Cohen Media Group.
