Two women confront love, loss and belief in Rossellini’s intense dual portrait of devotion and delusion.
Rossellini’s L’Amore presents two powerful portraits of love in extremis. In The Human Voice, a woman unravels during a desperate final phone call to her lover. In The Miracle, a naïve villager believes herself divinely chosen. Together, these stark, intimate stories explore devotion, delusion and the fragile boundaries between faith and longing.
