La pivellina (Non è ancora domani) (The Little One), Tizza Covi, Rainer Frimmel, Italy, 2009, 100', OV with Spanish subtitles, DCP.
Coinciding with the premiere of the last film by Austrian filmmakers Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel on the 25th, we recover the film that launched them internationally: La pivellina, premiered at the Directors' Fortnight, Cannes, in 2009, which also won the Europa Cinemas Label Best European Film award.
Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel harp back to the best of the Italian neorealist tradition to put together a neatly crafted film where the boundaries between fiction and documentary are deliberately hazy. Working with non-professional actors, in natural settings, the film tells the story of Patty and Walter, a couple who work in the circus, who one day find a two-year-old girl named Asia in the park, outside their trailer. The result is a deeply humanistic approach to the world of children and those who live in the suburbs of Rome.
