Saturday, January 11 & Sunday, January 12 at 4:10 p.m.: Q&A with director Maura Delpero
In a remote Alpine village in the north of Italy, a schoolteacher and his wife confront teen angst, infant mortality, and WWII-era deprivation while raising their large, ever-multiplying brood of children. When a handsome AWOL soldier takes refuge in Vermiglio and captures the affections of their oldest daughter, a wartime deception threatens to tear the family apart. Inspired by Maura Delpero’s family history and building to a deeply moving finale, VERMIGLIO is a gorgeous examination of the quiet moments, disappointments, and everlasting bonds of family life.
A Janus release.
"Wonderfully acted with unaffected naturalism... plays an extravagant, almost shameless pizzicato on the audience's heartstrings." -- Guardian
