Three years after it was was released, this film on the life story of the child Saint Maria Goretti played an important role in her canonization by the Catholic Church. But this it's much more than a Catholic film: it's also a strong portrayal of the hard lives of peasant farmers in a terribly harsh environment, that of the marsh lands ridden with the paludal malaria, then existing to the south of Rome... and how a marsh daughter defended virtues severely lacking in today's modern world, which leaded her to death at an early age. I'll finish this commentary mentioning the work of young Ines Orsini who gives Maria the aura of innocence that makes this film so moving.

The DVD performed perfectly. The picture and sound were clear. The English subtitles were satisfactory. This was my first purchase from Moviedetective.net, and I am happy with the results.
