Cannes 2024, the selected Italian titles
Parthenope by Paolo Sorrentino
Filmed between Naples and Capri, Paolo Sorrentino’s film Parthenope tells, in the director’s words, “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. Youth have this in common: brevity. And then all the others, the Neapolitans, lived, observed, loved, men and women, disillusioned and vital, their melancholic drifts, their tragic ironies, their slightly dejected eyes, their impatience, the loss of hope of being able to laugh once again at a distinguished man who trips 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 indefinable city, Naples, which bewitches, enchants, screams, laughs and then knows how to hurt you.”
