Italy has selected Maura Delpero's Venice Silver Lion winner Vermiglio as its entry for the Best International Feature at the #Oscars. In the director's heartfelt words "Vermiglio is a landscape of the soul, a "Family Lexicon" that lives inside me, on the threshold of the unconscious, an act of love for my father, his family and their small town". Vermiglio is the dense, atmospheric recreation of an almost pre-modern life in the middle of the 20th century.
