The Real-Life Story Behind Netflix s Rose Island
By Richard Milner/Jan. 21, 2021 10:52 am EDT
People who daydream are often said to be in their own world. Sometimes this claim is levied as a criticism, while other times it s a virtue to be creatively flighty and march to the beat of a different drummer. The line between admirably individualistic and irresponsibly out-of-touch is up for debate, and often depends on the consequences of actions: Did someone create an astonishing art installation or did someone land in jail? Even if all of us can t presume to be avant-garde artists in worlds of their own, everyone wants to escape now and then: a retreat into fiction movies, TV, books, etc., a vacation to a far-flung tropical paradise, or even just a savored meal at a favorite restaurant.

Italian director Sydney Sibilia s latest film,
The Incredible Story of Rose Island, is the story of the Republic of Roses,
an independent state founded by Giorgio Rosa, on a concrete platform he built by himself in international waters. And, it is also the
story of the Italian Republic s only act of invasion.
The Incredible Story of Rose Island begins with the finale, in
Strasbourg in November 1968, when Giorgio Rosa goes to the European Court, which regulates disputes between states, to present his case. There he explains what happened to him, and so the audience also goes over the events in flashback.
