‘Il Cherubino Crudo’ is an otherworldly character exploration of the cheubim. We follow the journey of a boy Cherub through romanticized spaces of home, church and countryside. Referencing romanticism, the Renaissance, Italian neo-realist film, each space within the film mimics ideal forms of beauty in contemporary Italian culture. As these ideal forms begin to collapse, the Cherub begins to morph to reflect the changing landscape.
Il Cherubino Crudo is part of ‘Next Gem’ the filmprogram that displays the future of filmmaking, portraying the visionary work of a new generation of creators.
