Oscars: Italy Submits ‘Vermiglio’ To International Feature Film Race
Italy has selected Vermiglio to represent it in the Best International Feature Film category of the 97th Academy Awards.
The second feature from Maura Delpero, Vermiglio premiered in Competition at the Venice Film Festival, winning the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize.
At the time of the win, Delpero said she hoped the prize would put her in the frame to represent Italy in the Oscars, and now her wish has come true.
The picture takes its title from a mountain village in the Italian Alps, which was home to the director’s family for generations.
The drama opens in the village in 1944. Largely cut off from the war across Europe, the arrival of a deserted soldier will disrupt the life of the village teacher and his family as the eldest daughter falls for him, leading to an unexpected turn of fate.
