My Take
Alice Rohrwacher is, to my mind, one of the most quietly essential voices in contemporary Italian cinema. What moves me is her tenderness toward rural life, forgotten memory, and the near-mythic textures of the countryside. Winning the Cannes Grand Prix for The Wonders confirmed what her debut already hinted: a filmmaker who whispers rather than shouts, yet leaves you shaken. She writes and edits her own work, an artisan's commitment I deeply respect. Rather than chasing trends, she patiently builds a singular world. I think she is the rare director whose films feel like folk tales rediscovered, and I trust wherever she leads.
