The Great Pumpkin (Italian: Il grande cocomero ) is a 1993 Italian drama film directed by Francesca Archibugi. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.[1] The film was selected as the Italian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 66th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[2][3]
The film focuses on Valentina, a young girl, sent to a psychiatric clinic.
A literal translation of the title would substitute "watermelon" for "pumpkin'; the phrase has pop culture cachet from being an intentional mistranslation of "The Great Pumpkin" in the Peanuts strips.
