The Nymph
(1996)Ninfa Plebea
|
This early film from controversial Italian director Lina Wertmüller -- the first woman to receive an Academy Award nomination for directing -- probes the narrow-mindedness that bubbles to the surface of a small town when a young virgin (Lucia Cara) is violently raped. Using a novel by Demenico Rea as inspiration for the tragic plot, Wertmüller skewers provincial prejudice and cries injustice at innocence lost.
