A ten-year-old boy, Michele (Giuseppe Cristiano is remarkable), living in a remote Italian village, uncovers a buried secret that shakes his relationship with his parents and the harsh world outside. In the guise of a nerve-jangling thriller, director Gabriele Salvatores, an Oscar winner for Mediterraneo, delivers a fierce, frightening and deeply moving study of childhood. It's a keeper.

“Tonight's the Night”

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
