Scoring an award at the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, Jonas Carpignano’s latest film is a heart-wrenching, ultra-realist tour of the outcast and refugee communities in Italy's south, led by fast-talking Gypsy swindler Pio Amato.
In the Cannes Festival-screened horror-thriller The Transfiguration, a troubled teen named Milo hides behind his fascination with vampire lore. When he meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to challenge Milo’s dark obsession.
