Lunedì al cinema – Corpo Celeste
Director: Alice Rohrwacher. With Yle Vianello, Salvatore Cantalupo, Pasqualina Scuncia, Drama, 100’, 2012.
In Italian with English subtitles
In a dismal urban landscape a congregation of the faithful has gathered to honour the Madonna. The scene is contemporary Italy, apparent in the cheap clothes worn by the crowd, the frightful music spewing from the loudspeakers and the digital picture. Corpo Celeste is the first full-length film by Alice Rohrwacher. The story of Marta gradually unfolds, a teenager struggling to come to grips with her body and religion, with her family and the church, but ultimately this beautiful child becomes a real cinema heroine.
