The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, picturesquely captured in natural light from cold winter to redemptive spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for ‘Vermiglio’, Maura Delpero’s visionary film that won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival
This extraordinary portrait of an extended family, set in the small mountain village of Vermiglio during the waning days of World War II, follows the dramatic events that occur after a quiet Sicilian soldier (Giuseppe De Domenico) arrives with the army
While there, the soldier strikes up a romance with the family’s eldest daughter, Lucia (Martina Scrinzi)
‘Vermiglio’ depicts the life of a provincial family in a remote village interrupted by the customs of a fading era
Conjuring up stories from his own family’s past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human story that is reminiscent of the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but from Lucia’s perspective, ‘Vermiglio’ feels unique and new
