From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime.
Born in the Bay of Naples in 1950, Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta) searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. But when tragedy strikes, and carefree romances lose their thrill, she decides to seek a deeper sense of purpose.
Featuring a captivating performance from Dalla Porta and an outstanding cast that includes Gary Oldman,Parthenope is another tale of great beauty from a master of modern cinema.
This will be followed at 20:15 by a post-screening discussion in the Café & Bar with our guest speaker and audience members. The evening will be hosted by Deaf artist, performer and filmmaker David Ellington and will feature BSL interpretation throughout.
