Harvey Keitel transforms into a guru named Marpa, who becomes the spiritual guide of a young girl named Mila (played by “Les Miserables” actor Isabelle Allen), in Italian director Louis Nero’s futuristic drama “Milarepa.”
Set in a “no tech” near future, the English-language indie film – with a cast also comprising F. Murray Abraham; Angela Molina; Franco Nero (no relation to the director); Diana Dell’Erba; Mexico’s Iazua Larios (“Sundown”) and Italy-based Japanese actor Hal Yamanouchi (“The Wolverine”) – just wrapped principle photography on the island of Sardinia, where it made ample use of its ancient megalithic stone constructions, dunes and craggy landscapes. See an exclusive first-look image of Keitel above.
“Milarepa” is a co-production between the director’s L’Altrofilm shingle, British producer Jake Seal’s Black Hanger Studio and Louisiana-based Orwo Studio USA. Orwo Distribution is handling international sales.
The executive producers are Zeno Pisani and Giovanna Maddalena.
