Parthenope

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

Parthenope is less about story and more about feeling. A hypnotic film filled with layers on time, desire, identity, and the weight of being seen as an image rather than a person (her and the professor’s son). It may feel slow, but that’s what makes it so hauntingly beautiful.

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

The scenery was very breathtaking, but the story was kind of all over the place and the ending was unsatisfactory

Lovely for the visuals but useless when it comes to story
