Is she a mermaid or a myth?

Line of Events

Partenope is a woman who takes her name from her city. In Greek myth, Partenope is the mermaid who committed suicide after failing to enchant Odysseus. Her body was washed up by the tide to the site of the Castel dell’Ovo, and so she gave her name to the city that would later become Neapolis, Naples.

In the film, Partenope is the personification of the city of Naples

Heat Written by Peter Gregson Directed by Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Klouda. A little disappointed with his last film È STATA LA MANO DI DIO, with PARTHENOPE I remembered what touched me so much about Sorrentino’s films. Everything is beautiful, from the city of Naples and its crystal clear waters to the still unknown goddess Celeste of the Gate.

The beauty of life in its insignificance

Add to that the Fellini-style scenes and the wonderful jazz soundtrack by Lele Marchitelli: you have perfection. One might think that he is making another GREAT BELLEZZA, but that is not the case. Sorrentino manages to surprise us once again, with a new way of dealing with what is — ultimately — the same topic.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the film stars Gary Oldman

The film asks questions without ever answering them, as if to say that one should stop looking for answers and start observing the beauty of the world as it is. As a result, the viewer leaves the cinema not with answers, but with an interesting view of life and, ultimately, death… Although his time on screen is limited, he manages to give a wonderful performance.

I sincerely hope/think that it will win the Palme d’Or

He then leaves, as if to encourage us to enjoy the film that he convinced us (by his presence in the cast) to watch. So I know that not everyone will like it — some scenes are quite strange, I have to admit — but, as far as I am concerned, this film gave me everything I expected (and did not expect) when I went into the cinema. Thanks Paolo 😉
