Stromboli
Stromboli, terra di Dio
★ Editor's Pick
A Lithuanian displaced person escapes a refugee camp by marrying an Italian fisherman, only to find herself stranded on the forbidding volcanic island of Stromboli, ostracised by its insular community. As her marriage collapses and her sense of self disintegrates against the island's pitiless landscape, she attempts a desperate escape across the volcano's crater. Rossellini's collaboration with Bergman transforms a doomed marriage into an existential crisis of faith and identity.
