As the days went by, during the festival, I kept thinking more and more about the film. "Seven acts of mercy" stands out for its perfect direction and great attention to form. The images were very beautiful , composing memorable sequences. The film is a breath of fresh air for Italian cinema, going beyond any kind of fashionable neorealism.
Emir Kusturica, President of the Jury at the Marrakech International Film Festival, to Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio, winners of the Jury prize for Best Director.
Following Caravaggio’s example, they bring on the screen a painful, human – very human – parable, open to hope… The brothers Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio represent a flattering introduction to Italian Cinema.
