‘Vermiglio,’ Maura Delpero’s Venice Silver Lion Winner, Acquired by Sideshow and Janus Films for North America

Sideshow and Janus Films have acquired North American rights to Maura Delpero’s intimate epic “Vermiglio,” which recently won the Venice Film Festival’s Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize.

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.

Sideshow and Janus Films plan to release “Vermiglio” theatrically in the coming months, they said in a statement.

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.”

Venice jury president Isabelle Huppert praised the Silver Lion winner for being a war story in which you never see war. “It’s like you have a great offscreen subject matter, but you get to see what’s going on only through a small eye, through the latch of a door,” she noted at a press conference after Venice’s awards ceremony.

I can't imagine this playing in very many theaters in the United States, but it looks good.

Jane Campion Praises Italian Director Maura Delpero’s ‘Vermiglio’ in Open Letter as Oscar Voting Kicks Off: The Film ‘Put a Spell Over Me’

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.

Saw it a few weeks ago and while it wouldn't crack my top 10, it is a great film and one I'll definitely add to my collection whenever Janus Contemporaries announces it (guessing this summer).
