Italian Film Club: Parthenope | Nerve Cinema
Date: 29 May 2025
Venue: Nerve Centre, 7-8 Magazine Street, Derry, Derry, BT48 6HJ
From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime.
Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), 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.
Led by a radiant performance from Celeste Dalla Porta and with a supporting cast including Academy Award® winner Gary Oldman and Luisa Ranieri, Parthenope is a visually ravishing ode to cinematic beauty (including fashion design by Saint Laurent) — a spectacular and immersive love letter to Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
