Vermiglio [cert TBC]

about this film

Unfolding against the stunning backdrop of a remote Italian mountain village, Maura Delpero’s (Maternal) award-winning period drama is a hauntingly beautiful tale of family life torn apart.
1944. In Vermiglio, the war is a distant but constant threat. A local teacher’s family is disrupted by the arrival of refugee soldier Pietro (Giuseppe De Domenico), who’s instantly drawn to its eldest daughter Lucia (Martina Scrinzi). As the world emerges from conflict, the family will face its own dramatic fate. 
Recalling the great films of Italian neorealism, filmed with painterly grace, Vermiglio is a lovely and compassionate depiction of the world of a family and a location suspended in time by the cyclical customs of a fading era. 

“Secrets and lies in an idyllic Italian village in the shadow of war” ★★★★ The Guardian
