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

‘It is wonderfully acted with unaffected naturalism by its cast of professionals and newcomers and plays an extravagant, almost shameless pizzicato on the audience’s heartstrings.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
