‘Vermiglio,’ Maura Delpero’s Venice Silver Lion Winner, Acquired by Sideshow and Janus Films for North America
Sideshow and Janus have snapped up Maura Delpero's Venice Silver Lion winner 'Vermiglio' for North America.
The drama, which 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, subsequently had its North American premiere in the special presentations section at Toronto. In her Variety review, critic Jessica Kiang called “Vermiglio” “quietly breathtaking,” going on to note that the film “unfolds from tiny tactile details of furnishings and fabrics and the hide of a dairy cow, into a momentous vision of everyday rural existence in the high Italian Alps.” “Vermiglio” marks Delpero’s follow-up to her first feature “Maternal,” which takes place in an Argentinian refuge for teenage mothers run by nuns and made a splash on the festival circuit.
