Parthenope

Opens February 21

Parthenope, born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, The Hand of God) comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime.

"Parthenope is a film that rumbles with the hum of nostalgia, recapturing the feeling of youthful, summer freedom while refusing to shy away from the uncertainties of young adulthood."
Siddhant Adlakha, Variety
"Our protagonist comes to feel like an avatar of the very ideas of youth and possibility, which also makes her an avatar of the opposite of those things—the idea that life eventually passes us all by."
Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
