The visionary The Book of Vision (Italy, UK, Belgium - 2020) will arrive in Italian theaters on July 8 distributed by RS Productions. Produced by acclaimed director Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line), the film features Carlo S. Hintermann, who also handled the screenplay together with Marco Saura.
In 2020 The Book of Vision was screened at the 77th Venice International Film Festival as the opening film of the International Critics' Week and received a David di Donatello nomination for Best VFX Visual Effects (to Renaud Quilichini and Lorenzo Ceccotti) and three Nastri D'Argento nominations (Best First-time Director, Best Editing and Best Costumes).
Plot: Eva (Lotte Verbeek), a promising young doctor, immerses herself in the study of the History of Medicine to question everything: nature, the body, illness and a fate that seems sealed.
She is fascinated by the "Book of Visions," the manuscript of Johan Anmuth (Charles Dance), a Prussian doctor who lived centuries earlier, containing the dreams, hopes and fears of thousands of patients. The Doctor knew how to listen to them, and their spirits still roam those pages, where life and death travel together, and now their testimony will intertwine with Eve's life and introspection.
In the cast of The Book of Vision appear Charles Dance (The Iron Throne), Lotte Verbeek (The Last Witch Hunter), Sverrir Gudnason (Call Girl), Isolda Dychauk (Faust), Filippo Nigro (A.C.A.B. - All Cops Are Bastards), Justin Korovkin (The Nest), Douglas Dean (Curse of the Blind Dead), Marco Quaglia (Suburra) and Giselda Volodi (Under the Dress Nothing - The Last Parade).
