Orizzonti Premio Orizzonti per il miglior film Un film sul ritorno dell’esorcismo nel mondo contemporaneo. Ogni anno sempre più persone chiamano “possessione” il loro malessere. La Chiesa risponde all’emergenza nominando un numero crescente di preti esorcisti, tra cui. Padre Cataldo, celebre per il carattere combattivo e instancabile. La regista trova nuovi significati a immagini metabolizzate da decenni di cinema di finzione. Liberami riesce a entrare con forza in una realtà invisibile e a raccontarla, con un grande gusto per la narrazione e una sincerità spiazzante. |

A film on the come back of exorcism in the contemporary world. Our world. Each year a growing number of people call their sense of unease “possession.” In Italy, Europe, worldwide. The Church answers to this spiritual emergency nominating an increasing number of exorcist priests and organizing training courses. Father Cataldo is one of the most sought-after exorcists in Sicily and elsewhere; he is famous for his tireless fighting spirit. Every Tuesday Gloria, Enrico, Anna, and Giulia, along with many others, attend Father Cataldo’s mass for deliverance, trying to find a cure for a sense of discomfort that has no answer nor a name. Whether believers or not, how far are we prepared to go to get recognition for our own disease? What are we prepared to do to be delivered from it, here and now? This is the story of a meeting between the act of exorcism and everyday life, where the contrasts between the ancient and modern, the religious and profane, are at times disturbing and at others exhilarating. A film not about religion, but about how religion can be experienced. |
