• … A wonderful movie made with sugar, cardboard, and broccoli.

• No Dogs or Italians Allowed is, in short, excellent. I would advise anyone with an interest in history to give it a look. On top of its narrative merits, it is also an interesting show of workmanship: Alain Ughetto shows fantastic use of puppetry

• Blending his own family history with that of Europe in the first half of the 20th century, French animator Alain Ughetto in his second film No Dogs or Italians Allowed creates an affecting image of worker migration within Europe one century ago, using his grandparents as the canvas on which to paint the hardships of migrants. Given the current discussion in Europe about migrant workers coming to the continent from outside, Ughetto’s playful and touching mixture of drama and comedy gains poignancy and shows that xenophobic aversion to migrants is nothing new.
