Our take
Shining a rare light on life in rural Sardinia, this bucolic drama is the feature debut from writer-director Salvatore Mereu. Earning a Special Mention at the Venice Film Festival, Three-Step Dance is a delicately modulated examination of an isolated community untouched by the hand of modernity.
