Parthenope: Napolis datter

Det er en overraskende gammeldags kunst- og kønsforståelse, Sorrentino præsenterer.

...overtly musical and mythic, with scenes and backdrops that seem designed to contrast one another...

...chronicles a woman’s long and unexpected journey from a captivating young goddess to a respected academic.

The world of Parthenope is filled by a number of period-specific details that, stripped of narrative context, lead to sequences of transcendent surrealism.

...escapes definition as a consequence, rendering the film a kind of modern myth of beauty incarnate—striking, seductive, and forever out of reach.
