The Italian director Paolo Sorrentino is presenting his latest film Parthenope in the Perlak section. Asked what led him to tell this story, he says that “Parthenope came out of the fact that in recent years I have come to think that our lives, because they are increasingly longer and more contradictory, have acquired a certain epic quality. All of us, especially women, are heroes. Women even more so, because the difficulties they have to face are greater than those that men do. As for whether it’s a story about beauty, he says it’s not. It’s more like a story about a woman who remembers certain important moments in her life to such an extent that it acquires a sacred dimension; moments that have to do with lost loves, illusions, disappointments, the opportunities we let slip away, the assumption of certain responsibilities... He also agrees that Parthenope is a beautiful woman who hides a complexity beneath the surface that no one is able to perceive, something that is a pretty accurate representation of Naples itself, and he quotes the great Italian writer Pontiggia who said: “Nothing can be hidden better than the obvious.”
