Vestito Da Sposa
I spent the better part of Monday working on this poster for a film screening here at TU Rome. The film is called "Il Vestito da Sposa" (The Wedding Dress). The premise is that a woman is shopping for a wedding ress, and then shortly after is violently gang raped. Her relationship with her fiance falls apart, and then one of the rapists (none of whom she was unable to identify) begins to court her.
Until very recently, rape was not even considered a serious crime in Italy. It was only a crime against a woman's "honor." although the law has changed, much of that attitude still prevails here. The film deals with the personal and political implications and repercussions of sexual violence.
It's a hard film, but I think it's an important one...
