From Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic tale of a life lived with boldness and passion.
Born in the Bay of Naples in 1950, Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta) searches for happiness amid the long, sun-drenched summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many unforgettable characters. But when tragedy strikes, and carefree romances lose their allure, she begins to seek a deeper sense of purpose.
Featuring a captivating performance by Dalla Porta and an outstanding cast that includes Gary Oldman, Sorrentino offers a vivid portrait of his childhood home — a lively, vibrant city open to the sea — a vision memorably depicted in his largely autobiographical film The Hand of God. Now, through this reimagining of the story of the legendary siren who became a Neapolitan deity, Parthenope continues his celebration of the city’s enduring allure.
