Stromboli: Land of God
€23.49
Stromboli, Land of God follows Karen (Ingrid Bergman), a young woman from Lithuania who marries fisherman Antonio (Mario Vitale) to escape from a prison camp after being promised a great life on his home island of Stromboli. Karen soon discovers the island is harsh and barren, with the locals acting in a hostile manner towards this strange, foreign woman, Karen increasingly becomes despondent, looking for ways to escape this new life.
This Italian neorealist classic is famously the result of a letter from Bergman to Rossellini, in which she spoke of her admiration for his work and how she wanted to make a film with him. The letter also sparked the infamous affair between Rossellini and Bergman which began during the production of the film.
