Le meraviglie
Encouragés par la projection inopinée du nouveau film Piccolo corpo de Laura Samani en septembre dernier (sélectionné à la Mostra), nous représentons ce titre, en y adjoignant quelques autres films récents de réalisatrices italiennes. Une occasion de vérifier sur pièce un bref état des lieux du cinéma d'auteur italien au féminin.
Nothing will be the same at the end of this summer for Gelsomina and her three younger sisters. She is the designated heir of the strange, secluded kingdom that her father constructed around them to protect his family from "the end of the world." An extraordinary summer, when the strict rules that hold the family together, are beginning to break: in part due to the arrival of Martin, a German boy on a youth rehabilitation program, and in part the local community's participation in a TV competition for big prizes "Village Wonders," presented by the mysterious Milly Catena.
