Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italian distributor Piper Film, Fremantle and Pathé have dropped the international trailer for Paolo Sorrentino’s “Parthenope” ahead of the widely sold film’s international rollout following its bow in May from the Cannes Film Festival.
Praised in his review by Variety critic Siddhant Adlakha as “An exquisite treatise on cinematic beauty,” “Parthenope” is a love letter to the director’s native Naples.
But also, as Sorrentino has put it, a film about “missed youth” that comes as a follow-up to his autobiographical “The Hand of God.” The film’s titular character is a young woman born in Sorrentino’s native Naples – Neapolitans in Italy are also known as “Parthenopeans” – played by newcomer Celeste Dalla Porta who “delivers a beguiling performance,” noted Adlakha, as “a woman of such stunning beauty that people stop and stare.” “It’s a moving artistic quest, as a filmmaker explores, through the tale of one woman finding her inner life — both beyond her beauty, and through it — the reasons he wields his camera in the first place: in pursuit of transformative truths about the way we see the world, and ourselves, best unveiled through aesthetic discovery,” Adlakha wrote.
The “Parthenope” cast also comprises Gary Oldman, who plays American novelist John Cheever; Luisa Ranieri, who played the emotionally troubled Aunt Patrizia in “Hand of God”; Italian icon Stefania Sandrelli who was Bernardo Bertolucci’s muse; and Silvio Orlando, who played Cardinal Voiello in “The Young Pope,” among other top talents.
