In keeping with Rosi’s style, there are no explanations and no interactions with the camera, and Sacro GRA suddenly ends without a sense of having come to any conclusions.

Gianfranco Rosi spent two years in a minivan on Rome’s giant ring road—the Grande Raccordo Anulare, or GRA—to discover the invisible worlds and possible futures harbored in this area of constant turmoil. Elusive characters and fleeting apparitions emerge from the background of the winding zone.

What are critics saying?
A fun and insightful slice of Roman life. Next up, M25: The Movie?
The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
Gianfranco Rosi (Below Sea Level, El Sicario: Room 164) brings humor and sensitivity to his filming of the strange denizens who live and work around the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome’s huge ring road.
The Playlist by Oliver Lyttelton
The 90-minute film feels shallow and, while Rosi has a good eye, not especially cinematic.
The cumulative effect offers a tender tribute to the resilience of his subjects’ spirits against the thrum of traffic.
