Sorrentino's Parthenope breaks box-office record

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 28 - Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope became the most successful Italian drama at the box office since the pandemic when it opened in Italian movie theatres at the weekend.
    The latest feature film of the Neapolitan director during its first weekend reached 1,907,132 in takings - screened in 529 rooms and 3,605 cinemas - with revenues including previews totalling 2,006,207 euros - the second most-watched movie at the weekend after Venom - The Last Dance. The movie, starring Celeste Dalla Porta, Luisa Ranieri, Stefania Sandrelli, Gary Oldman and Beppe Lanzetta, is a decades-spanning drama about a Neapolitan woman, starting from her youth to the years she spends adrift as an adult - an oeuvre focusing on the perception people have of places and of themselves and on the director's "missed youth".
