Parthenope

FILM PREMIERE

WEDNESDAY 25/12

Paolo Sorrentino · Italy · 2024 · Script: Umberto Contarello and Paolo Sorrentino · Performers: Celeste Dalla Porta, Gary Oldman, Stefania Sandrelli…

Paolo Sorrentino has achieved what few authors in cinema have achieved: awaken as many passions as aversions. We talk about narcissism, absorption; demerits of a criticism that does not assume that Italian frequently departs from the discourses of political correctness. Perthenope takes the myth of the mermaid who founded the city of Naples to make a beautiful visual exercise. A tribute to the director's hometown through the story of a woman, from the fifties to the present, that tells us about the loss of youth and the value of the gaze. G.LEON
