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".
