“She’s not in love you.” “But I am. My whole life.” A24 has unveiled an official trailer for the up-to-date seductive Paolo Sorrentino film called Parthenope, which originally premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It’s now set for a US release in theaters starting February 2025. “Partenope is a woman who bears the name of her city. Is she a siren or a myth?” The extraordinarily lovely Celeste Dalla Porta stars as Parthenope – born in the sea of Naples in 1950, she searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her native city of Naples (aka Napoli in Italian) and its many memorable characters. From Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a gorgeous and deeply romantic story of a lifetime. This also stars Stefania Sandrelli, Gary Oldman, Silvio Orlando, Luisa Ranieri, Peppe Lanzetta, and Isabella Ferrari. The film is crazy obsessed with Dalla Porta’s beauty, with a story about a woman that every man ever falls for, but she resists their advances and instead tries to build her own life drifting around Italy and studying archeology. I wish the film was better but it’s quite forgettable in the end.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Paolo Sorrentino’s film Parthenope, direct from A24’s YouTube:

The long journey of Parthenope’s (Celeste Dalla Porta) 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 enormous repertoire of emotions. Parthenope is both written and directed by the acclaimed Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, director of the films One Man Up, The Consequences of Love, The Family Friend, Il Divo, This Must Be the Place, The Great Beauty, Youth, Loro, and The Hand of God previously. It is produced by Lorenzo Mieli, Ardavan Safaee, Paolo Sorrentino, and Anthony Vaccarello. This first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year playing in the Main Competition section. A24 will debut Sorrentino’s Parthenope in select US theaters starting February 7th, 2024 early next year. Your thoughts? Who wants to watch this?
