M (Villence & offensive languae)
Screening as part of the 9th Cinema Italiano
19 MAY 12.45pm
Delta is a riveting and strikingly shot film set on the moody waters of the river, Po. An original cinematic backdrop, the Po is the principal
artery of Northern Italy’s rivers, flowing from the base of the Western Alps to the Adriatic coast. Alessandro Borghi (also in Eight Mountains) is brilliant as Osso (meaning bone), a man driven to save the river from over-fishing. What begins as a clash between fishermen and poachers grows into something deadly. Hostilities seem inevitable as we discover that a ‘son’ of the river has sided
with the poachers. Old biases, revenge, and retribution float to the surface of this river-set
Neo-Western. An atmospheric, gritty and original story driven by outstanding performances and authenticity. Director Michele
Vannucci unravels the narrative with a deliberate and captivating air of suspense that will keep you nailed to your seat.
In Italian with English subtitles.
Directed by Michele Vannucci starring Alessandro Borghi, Luigi Lo Cascio, Emilia Scarpati Fanet
