♱ Produced by A24, the new film by Paolo Sorrentino, director of La Grande Bellezza and The Hand of God
♱ Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival
Tracing the life of Parthenope as a reflection of his own city of Naples, Sorrentino crafts yet another exquisite treatise on cinematic allure, following his Oscar-winning The Great Beauty. It’s a decades-spanning drama about a woman of heavenly yet disruptive beauty finding her inner self, through her fleeting, unspeakable love, and warring desires for play and professional success. Alongside her pursuit of transformative truths, unfolding in lavish imagery and Baroque virtuosity, we see a life of dream and disillusion, and a city that is enchanting and aching all at once.
