- QuizIn a 2023 interview with Bitpix TV, Alice Rohrwacher explained the double-meaning of the title and the unique rehearsal process of the film: "Before we started filming, we cast these 17 young girls without knowing who would play the main character of Serafina, but they all had such expressive eyes, which was essential for the story. 'Pupil' means eyes, but, in Latin, it also means 'little girl', so they all had to embody that double meaning. This was during COVID, so once we had our acting troupe selected, we spent several weeks together rehearsing and letting all the girls try each role. They didn't necessarily know who the protagonist was, as they all had a chance to experience the story from many perspectives. We were also shooting on film so we didn't have the luxury of many digital takes, so teaching them the importance of conserving film and making the most of every scene was a wonderful way to learn about the industry and making a movie... It wasn't until they saw the film on the screen that they fully understood Serafina's journey."

Recensione in evidenza
Le Pupille is a short film by Italian director Alice Rohrwacher (Lazzaro felice). A Christmas tale with a strong connection between reality and imagination, which follows the usual atmospheres of the Bolognese director and this time combines Dickensian with an ineffably Italian magical realism.
The script, as wittily told by the orphanage girls themselves, is a free adaptation of the Christmas letter, which the renowned writer Elsa Morante sent to her friend and literary critic, Goffredo Fofi. The short film builds the story around the anecdote told in the letter, respecting in part, the writer's own words, which in the form of a song, is interpreted by the pupils of the boarding school. Le pupille, a title that in Latin means precisely girls and where the director gives it that imaginative double meaning, with those eyes of the girls, moving freely in any direction, a detail shot that becomes the central message of the short film.
With Le pupille, Rohrwacher gives free rein to all his poetic notes, already present in his feature films, and signs a unique short film that seems to come from another era, with that 16 and 35 mm photography of marked grain, the work of his usual collaborator Hélène Louvart, visually reminiscent at times of Jack Cardiff's Black Narcissus for Powell & Pressburger. She also allows herself to pay tribute to slapstick comedy without complexes, with those accelerations in editing, underlining the fleeting moments of joy. But above all it pays homage to the Italian cinema, references such as the Tavianni brothers, the Vitoriode Sica-Cessare Zabatinni duo, or Pier Paolo Pasolini, maintaining the difficult balance of reality and fantasy, in the genre of Italian neo-magical realism.
Le pupille is a humane and moving story about rebellion, morality and purity at an early age and how our actions have unintended consequences, in the face of the emptiness of some traditions.
