A pregnant couple joining a cultish community sounds like the set-up for either a horror, a satire or both but Claudio Casale treats the subject with a studious seriousness in Year Of The Egg - an approach which means he retains a strong grip on the film’s mood although the whole thing ends up being rather too measured for its own good.
Gemma (Yile Vianello) and Adriano (Andrea Palma) are expecting their first child and have decided to join the Egg Community, run by Guru Rajani, which offers them a sort of New Age blend of beliefs and a place of retreat during pregnancy and the first three months after birth. Each couple is presented with a golden egg that looks like something you might receive from the Easter bunny, although it’s clear that there will be little gainsaying in a community that desperately wants to believe.
Gemma is definitely more.
