Isabel Coixet’s English-language adaptation of Italian author Elena Ferrante’s “The Days of Abandonment.” The deal to make the film, which is now in development, was signed before the SAG-AFTRA strike.
While Cruz did not attend the Venice Film Festival, she elicited raves from critics on the Lido for her performance in Michael Mann’s “Ferrari” as the angry, lonely, grief-ravaged Laura Ferrari, emotionally estranged from her husband Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver). “The Days of Abandonment,” which will transpose the novel’s original Italian setting to America, reunites the two top Spanish talents following their collaboration on another U.S.-set film, the 2008 drama “Elegy” an adaptation of Philip Roth’s novella “The Dying Animal,” about an affair between a professor (Ben Kingsley) and his student, played by Cruz.
Ferrante’s bestselling novel, which was translated and published in English in 2005, chronicles the 38-year-old Olga’s descent into devastating emptiness when her husband of 15 years leaves her for another woman.
Trapped within the four walls of their Turin high-rise apartment with full responsibility of the two girls, Olga loses control of her personality and fears that she will disintegrate.
