Another thought-provoking film by Lina Wertmuller, The story and
cinematography is what we have come to expect from Wertmuller's films,
beautiful even during the turmoil of war.
The Nymph follows a young girl's difficult passage into
womanhood in World War II Italy. Miluzza experiences the love of
family, and lust of soldiers and local men who are enchanted by her
youth and beauty. Set in a very poor small village, the jealousy and
judgment of others weighs heavily on the young Miluzza since her
mother, Nunziata, is seen as a loose woman. Wertmuller draws the viewer
to Miluzza's side as her innocence is tragically lost. She wonders at
one point, "Why is everyone so evil to me?".
There are some disturbing
images of abuse and rape, but the overall message of this film is of
hope and redemption. Miluzza's beautiful spirit triumphs after she
helps a wounded Italian soldier return home after he stumbles into her
life. Her demure beauty, feminine strength and goodness win over
everyone in the end. Highly recommended for foreign film buffs.
