Edoardo De Angelis' 'Indivisibili' Premieres at Venice Film Festival

other · 2026-05-05

Edoardo De Angelis' film 'Indivisibili' premiered at the 73rd Venice Film Festival in the Giornate degli Autori section, later screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (Contemporary World Cinema) and the London Film Festival. The film follows Daisy and Viola, conjoined twins living in one of the poorest areas of Southern Italy, known for 'Gomorra' and environmental decay. Produced by Tramp Limited in collaboration with O'Groove, Medusa Film, and Mediaset, with support from the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, it was among seven films shortlisted to represent Italy at the Oscars. De Angelis, who studied at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, cites video artist Bill Viola as his inspiration for pursuing images, and filmmakers Emir Kusturica and David Lynch as references. Costume designer Massimo Cantini Parrini created the twins' dresses, which shift from bright pink to gray to reflect their emotional state. The director kept the actresses physically bound together for three months before shooting to create a single character. The film's setting in Castel Volturno and Caserta province features 70 Pentecostal churches and polluted landscapes, with a recurring image of a Christ-like figure made of debris. Clara Tosi Pamphili wrote the review for Artribune.
