Vermiglio or Mountain Bride: Historical and romantic melodrama, this film has won the silver lion on the Venice Mosque

Imeretian and attractive film

The winter of 1944. In the small mountain village of Trentino, north of Italy, the war is distant and almighty. When a young soldier arrives, seeking asylum, the dynamics of the local teacher’s family change forever. A young man and a senior girl fall in love with marriage and unexpected fate …

In his second film, Italian director Mura Delparo puts viewers with immoral landscapes and interiors that smell good wood and hot milk. At the jury’s Grand Prix, Venice Moster, Vermiglio or the Mountain Bride is a dense and atmospheric work that sophisticated the peasant’s tabs of the time. The particularly neat composition of great fixed plans respects the grand beauty of this province, surrounded by snow walls.

Family story with an authentic scent

“The Vermiglio or the Bride of the Mountain is the landscape of the soul, the” family dictionary “that lives in me, on the threshold of unconsciousness, the action of the love of my father, his family and their little village.“Explains Maura Delparo.

It is definitely in the memories of his Veriglian father, and then disappeared that the filmmaker comes to draw all the correctness of the story. As a child, she spent a great deal of time back home and returned, and then approached the place with a more mature perspective, floating between the past and the present.

To make this film, Mura Delparo moves in these areas to a high altitude and five feelings. Like a plant, a vertigo or a mountain bride pushes “From its unique soil“And developed”An organic way”Said the director.

Go from one world to another

It is ”The history of war without bombs or great battles“, The filmmaker was returned.

The film also depicts a village in which the imagination invents elsewhere. Atlas becomes a window behind the mountain, and at the end of the war, the beginning of a new era breathes traditions and makes the most archaic.

Lucia’s character, a famous bride, is representative of this passage from old to modernity: she chooses individuality to society and therefore becomes “Metaphor of post -war period“But also the female figure breaks her time.

With attractive realism, the Veriglian or the Mountain bride combines sweetness moments with the ice of its landscapes. The comfort will now be found in the building.
