Vermiglio15

Directed by Maura Delpero | Italy | 2024 | 1h 59m | Italian w/ English subtitles | Starring Tommaso Ragno, Roberta Rovelli, Martina Scrinzi, Giuseppe De Domenico, Carlotta Gamba

In the remote mountain village of Vermiglio, the Second World War remains a distant yet persistent shadow. As the conflict nears its end, a revered schoolteacher finds his life upended by the arrival of a deserting soldier, whose presence stirs tension and discord within his family. Evoking the rich tradition of Italian neorealism, Maura Delpero’s historical drama captures a world in turmoil with striking visual beauty. Winner of the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.

Reviews

‘Vermiglio is exquisite. There’s a rough, earthy tenderness to the picture and a kinship with other recent examples of Italian folk cinema.’
★★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

‘Delpero’s dense, meticulous accumulation of intimate detail makes us feel that we’re really inhabiting this small universe, with all its harshness and its comforts, as much at home in it as the family.’
★★★★★
Jonathan Romney, The FT
