Parthenope is the latest film by Paolo Sorrentino that will be hitting the silver screens shortly. The film managed to be selected for the Palm d'Or category at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it was also premiered. It is in the coming-of-age genre and is made with the collaboration of production companies between France and Italy, making it an international venture.
Apart from taking on directorial responsibilities, Sorrentino has also written Parthenope as well as co-produced it with Lorenzo Mieli, Anthony Vaccarello, and Ardavan Safaee. The film features Italian, Neapolitan, and English languages and will be released on February 7, 2025, in the U.S.
When will Parthenope be released?
Parthenope had its world premiere on May 21 at the Cannes Film Festival. After the screening, the audience gave a standing ovation that lasted for more than nine minutes. This response helped in creating more buzz about the film globally. Later on, it had its theatrical release in Italy on October 24 of the same year. Despite the interesting premise and Sorrentino's body of work, the film was not well received by critics. A24 will be releasing the film on February 7, 2025.
The film will also be released in France on March 12 through a French company called Pathe. Its streaming partner will be Netflix, where the film is expected to drop after its theatrical run in different countries.
What is the plot of Parthenope?
Parthenope has Celeste Dalla Porta playing the role of the titular lady who lives in Naples. The story focuses on her life as she tries to navigate it and meet different people. The official synopsis of the film reads,
"Parthenope is a woman who bears the name of her city. Is she a siren or a myth?"
The visuals from the trailer promise a character-driven drama that delves into the layers of its protagonist. The coming-of-age element in the storyline might make it more relatable to a wider audience. Sorrentino is known for his films like One Man Up, the biographical flick II Diva, and The Hand of God, among others.
