Tale
1944, Vermiglio, a remote mountain village
The arrival of the deserter Pietro into the family of the local teacher and his love for the teacher’s eldest daughter will change the course of each of our lives. Italy’s official submission for the 'Best International Feature Film9 category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025. Special Mention: Why do we need a Venice Film Festival?
It is the best cinema
(2024). I found "Vermiglio" a very beautiful, unusual and at the same time very relevant film. The acting is excellent and the story is very well constructed, very moving and excellently directed.
It is one of the best films I have seen in many years
I found the language to be extremely beautiful and the photography simply stunning. The family story is very credible and the references to the social reality of Trentino during and after the Great War seem correct and deserve to be seen as an experiment in social analysis. The respect with which the religious aspect is treated deserves the highest praise.
As a non-Italian, I am now ready to visit the real Vermiglio and contemplate the effects of this wonderful film
In other words, “Vermiglio” is not only poetic and truly beautiful, but also takes us back to a world that will soon disappear in Europe. It deserves to be seen by all who love real cinematography, seek to understand the human condition and, above all, do not renounce the aesthetic dimension of today’s life. The music is excellent, and the sound of “Miserere” that rang out in a moment of deep sadness in the family moved me deeply.
