Anita Crucitti

A transfixing, rarely-seen 16mm miniature made as part of Rohrwacher's opera production of La traviata in 2016. In four minutes and with just a few delicate shots, she creates a moment of true cinema, one imbued with her distinct and elegant filmmaking voice.

Purehearted teen Lazzaro is content living as a sharecropper in rural Italy, but an unlikely friendship with the marquise’s son will change his world.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many to stay at home, preventing people from meeting each other in real life. In the absence of any physical connection, this short explores alternative forms of contact among neighbors by making use of an old 16mm camera, a zoom lens, and a few meters of expired film.

The ninth short film of the Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales series reflects Alice Rohrwacher’s attention to the surreal world of ordinariness and exceptions.
