Did you know? The film’s poster of footballer Valenti was designed using a real-life Italian soccer star’s likeness, but the actor’s name was changed to avoid legal issues, adding a layer of meta-commentary on idolization.
Why Watch: "Le miracle" is a must-watch for fans of daring, darkly comedic cinema that shatters taboos with every frame.

After a tense interruption by her grown son Mattia during a quiet bath, Angelica finally releases her pent-up emotions. She starts touching herself before a poster of Valenti, the footballer her son worships. Then, impossibly, Valenti’s eyes lock onto hers—a silent plea. A surreal madness takes hold as this bizarre miracle transforms into a raw clash for control and closeness between mother and son.
