Our Lady of the Turks
Watch TrailerTo the protagonist, an intellectual so feverish that he seems pathologically unrecoverable, a confused memory resurfaces of a massacre carried out by the Turks in Otranto. Immersing himself in one of the victims, in the unconscious desire to eviscerate himself, a woman appears to him, Margherita, who, in the guise of Santa Maria d'Otranto, treats him with compassionate love. In the hallucinating succession of memories intertwined with historical events, the protagonist finds himself in contact with his environment, his land, his country.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Carmine Gallone constructs a cinematic experience that relies on radical editing and surreal imagery to explore the fissures between personal psychosis and collective historical trauma. The film builds its unsettling power through repetitive symbols and a fragmented narrative, immersing the viewer in the protagonist's disintegrating reality.
What lingers after the credits is the sensation of having traversed a labyrinth of feverish memory, where time and narrative logic are deliberately subverted. It is a demanding, often abrasive work that challenges conventional viewing. — MovieFinder Editorial
