The sequence, which you can admire below, involves the actors Celeste Dalla Porta And Gary Oldman in a particularly intense sequence.

The film Parthenope tells, in the words of Paolo Sorrentino, “the long journey of Parthenope’s life, from 1950, when he was born, until today. An epic of the feminine without heroism, but inhabited by the inexorable passion for freedom, for Naples and the unpredictable faces of love. The real, the useless and the unspeakable, which condemn you to pain. And then they make you start again. The perfect Capri summer, as kids, wrapped in lightheartedness. And the ambush of the end. Youths have this in common: brevity.

And then all the others, the Neapolitans, lived, observed, loved, men and women, disillusioned and vital, their melancholy drifts, their tragic ironies, their slightly dejected eyes, the impatience, the loss of hope of being able to laugh once again at a distinguished man who stumbles and falls in a downtown street. Life can be very long, memorable or ordinary. The passage of time gives the whole repertoire of feelings. And there at the end, near and far, this one indefinable city, Naples, which bewitches, enchants, screams, laughs and then knows how to hurt you”.
