‘Vermiglio’ Director Maura Delpero on Winning Venice’s Silver Lion for the ‘Most Personal Film You Could Ever Imagine’: ‘It’s Really Magic’


Venice Silver Lion Winner Maura Delpero discusses how her ‘Vermiglio’ germinated from seeing her father 'in a dream in which he was a small child.'

The drama is set at the end of World War II in an Alpine village, where the arrival of a soldier causes disruption in the dynamics between three sisters. “Vermiglio” marks Delpero’s follow-up to “Maternal,” which takes place in an Argentinian refuge for teenage mothers run by nuns and made a splash on the festival circuit. Delpero spoke to Variety in Venice, a few days before “Vermiglio” scooped the Silver Lion, about her deeply personal connection to the film.
