Official Selection – Cannes Film Festival
Since her birth in the summer of 1950 in Naples, all eyes have been on Parthenope, a stunning beauty named after the mythical figure who gave the region its name and was known for her untamed beauty and uncompromising strength. It seemed Parthenope was destined for greatness, and indeed she captivates everyone around her with her irresistible charm and mesmerizing presence. Yet, a persistent question lingers in her heart: who is she, really? Throughout her youth and adulthood, against the backdrop of Capri's shores and across Europe, Parthenope seeks to find her place in the world.
The new film by the most acclaimed Italian director of our time, Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, Youth), premiered in the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival. The director's familiar and captivating style, where each frame is more stunning than the last, is fully evident in "Parthenope"—an epic drama about freedom, beauty, Italy, and the many faces of love.
