Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2025
May 29 - June 5, 2025
Nature seeks her revenge in Isabella Torre’s hypnotic debut feature, an enigmatic and powerfully atmospheric work about an illegal archaeological dig in southern Calabria and its supernatural consequences.
Nature seeks her revenge in Isabella Torre’s hypnotic debut feature, an enigmatic and powerfully atmospheric work that might best be described as an eco-horror film. Set in Aspromonte (a massif in southern Calabria), the film begins by introducing us to the region’s rugged, mist-shrouded landscape, before a mysterious figure known only as “the Irishman” appears. It turns out he is involved with an illegal archaeological dig, the results of which seem to unleash a supernatural wrath on those who would disrupt the balance between the human and natural domains…. A thoroughly stylish film of ideas disguised as an eerie genre exercise, Basileia is an impressive and provocative debut indeed. Closing Night at 2024 Venice Days.
