Production
[edit]Principal photography started on 28 August 2023,[1] and shootings wrapped in December.[3] The film was shot between the Vermiglio, Carciato and Comasine towns in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.[4] It is produced by Cinedora (Italy), Charades (France), and Versus (Belgium).[5] Delpero decided to make the film after her father's death as a way to help ensure that the traditions in which he had grown up were not lost, including conducting many interviews with local people during pre-production.[6][7]
Release
[edit]The film premiered in competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.[8][9]
Critics reception
[edit]The film received general positive reviews by critics.[10][11]
Jessica Kiang of Variety affirmed that "economy" is the watchword of "deceptively formalist" film, that results “deceptively formalist” from direction, editing, musical compositions to costumes, contributing "to a fascinating narrative remove, which is belied by the close-up clarity of the imagery". Kiang wrote that although the plot is set in the past, it "operates like a future family secret playing out in the present tense" through " the spirit of the mothers and the sisters and the daughters who came before and after, and who trusted the imperious mountains to keep their secrets".[12]
Italian critics
[edit]The film received favorable reviews from Italian film critics.[13][14] Mattia Pasquini of Ciak wrote that like the previous film Maternal the screenplay is about the mother-child relationship set on an "extremely refined framework, both linguistically, stylistically and narratively coherent and homogeneous".[15] Federico Pontiggia of Cinematografo stated that the film synthesizes "the previous documentary experience, with greater ambition, free will and calmness", deeming "the direction of actors excellent, the anti-spectacular hold valuable, the poetry of war and peace admirable, we have a lady author: Maura Delpero".[16]
