Gençlik ve Muhteşem Güzellik filmlerinin yönetmeni Paolo Sorrentino, doğduğu şehre yeni bir aşk mektubuyla geri dönüyor: içten ve sevecen Tanrının Eli (2021) filminin de geçtiği canlı, hareketli, bağıran, gülen, büyüleyen, göz alıcı Napoli. Prömiyerini Cannes’da yapan Parthenope, adını sonradan Napoli’nin tanrısı haline gelen efsanevi sirenden alıyor ve güzeller güzeli Parthenope’nin 1950’deki doğumundan günümüze, çalkantılı yaşam yolculuğunu anlatıyor. Kahramanlıkla değil ama özgür bir ruhla sarmalanmış, Napoli’ye ve aşkın bin bir yüzüne (gerçek, anlamsız ve tarifsiz aşklara) karşı amansız bir tutkuyla dolup taşan kadınsı bir destan.

Su Perisi Parthenope

In Torino, a bittersweet crowd is bringing its own belongings to a pawn shop, waiting for a ransom or the final auction. Between the thousands of faces that tell the human inventory of the crisis, three stories intertwine unconsciously in the thin line of moral debt. Sandra, a young trans, in order to escape her past sells her fur coat. Her gaze will cross Stefano’s, a novice who just started working at the bank, and who drags her towards a tender obsession. Michele, a retired porter, asks for a loan to a family member, who will turn out to be fatally the wrong person to ask a favour from.

Pawn Street
