Jane Campion Praises Italian Director Maura Delpero’s ‘Vermiglio’ in Open Letter as Oscar Voting Kicks Off: The Film ‘Put a Spell Over Me’ (Exclusive)
With Oscar voting starting today, double Oscar-winner Jane Campion is championing young Italian director Maura Delpero’s “Vermiglio,” Italy’s contender in the international film category.
The intimate period drama, 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, has made Delpero a new international indie darling after “Vermiglio” won the Venice Film Festival’s Silver Lion in September.
Delpero’s sophomore film later segued from Venice to Toronto and a slew of other fests around the world. The director had previously made a splash with “Maternal” which takes place in an Argentinian refuge for teenage mothers run by nuns.
“Vermiglio,” which after Venice sold widely around the world, was released in the U.S. on Dec. 25 by Sideshow and Janus Films.
