About Miracle of Marcellino
In the 15th century, in a poor Italian village, the monks of a modest convent take up an abandoned baby. Unfortunately, for all their efforts, they prove unable to trace his parents. So they set up providing tender loving care to the little boy. Marcellino lives a happy life among the men of God but, as he grows up, he misses his mother more and more.
Directed by Luigi Comencini, Miracle of Marcellino leans on a strong ensemble — Alberto Cracco, Didier Bénureau, Sergio Bini Bustric — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1991.
