Cinema at the Institute – LANDSCAPES IN ITALIAN CINEMA (Set in Lampedusa)
Director: Emanuele Crialese. Cast: Valeria Golino, Vincenzo Amato, Francesco Casisa. Italy. 2002
The film retells an old Sicilian legend about the island of Lampedusa, where the inhabitants believe a young mother is crazy because she constantly breaks the stringent rules of their insular community. One day she disappears, leaving only a pile of clothing on the beach, and the townsfolk feel tremendous guilt at having driven her to suicide. Their grief and their prayers bring the woman back from the sea to be restored to her family.
