Parthenope

By Paolo Sorrentino

Synopsis

The long jour­ney of Parthenope’s life, from her birth in 1950 till today. A fem­i­nine epic, devoid of hero­ism but brim­ming with an inex­orable pas­sion for free­dom, Naples, and the faces of love—all those true, point­less, and unspeak­able loves. The per­fect Capri sum­mer, the light­heart­ed­ness of youth. Which ends in ambush. And then all the others—the Neapoli­tans, men and women, observed and loved, dis­il­lu­sioned and vital, their waves of melan­choly, their trag­ic ironies and deject­ed glances. Life, be it ordi­nary or mem­o­rable, knows how to be very long. The pass­ing of time offers up a vast reper­toire of emo­tions. And there in the back­ground, so close and so very far, is Naples, this inef­fa­ble city that bewitch­es, enchants, screams, laughs, and always knows how to hurt you.
