Parthenope

i appreciate hypnotizing italy shots but the male gaze was kinda crazy

The way Italy was shot and captured in this film was beautiful but I don’t think it ever goes deep enough with the themes it’s exploring. Feels like all this beauty for absolutely nothing.

4.5

almost a like, but the super unnecessary incest kind of threw the entire film into a nosedive. she is definitely gorgeous and mostly kills it with her performance, alongside strong visuals, but i agree with the criticisms; overall very tone-deaf and hollow

Visually stunning and poetic, it captures Naples like a dream; but beneath the beauty, it feels distant and hollow. Sorrentino’s style shines, yet the story never fully connects. Gorgeous, yes; moving, not quite.

I’m so conflicted because I disagree with some of the plot because.. huh?? However the beautiful shots, acting, music and Celeste gave it a like. Very beautiful film. Don’t do this again though.

Another one for the millennial gaze. Sequences of great Instagram shots and a slightly disturbing plot
