Is she a mermaid or a myth?
Parthenope is a woman named after her city. In Greek myth, Parthenope is the mermaid who committed suicide after failing to charm Odysseus.
In the film, Parthenope is the embodiment of the city of Naples
Her body was washed up on the spot where Castel dell’Ovo is now built, and for this she gave the name to the city that would later become Neapolis, Naples. WarmthWritten by Peter GregsonPerformed by Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Klouda.
A room full of cinephiles & cinema addicts
I saw this piece of art at the Cannes Film Festival, in the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière. The theater was filled with a special nostalgic/joyful/emotional atmosphere that I have never felt before.
Many tears of gratitude flowed down my cheeks
And that was just because of the cinematic experience. And I hope with all my heart that it will never end.
Amazing cinematography by the amazing Daria D'Antonio!
Watching a movie with other people on a very big screen will always make a big difference compared to our home theaters. I recommend seeing this movie only in the cinema.
