Parthenope (out Dec 26) is the kind of movie you’d expect from director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty). It doesn’t always make sense but the soft music and beautiful cinematography generate a hypnotic vibe that lure you in. A movie with something to say about love, beauty, ageing, and the city of Naples. Makes you reflect on life. Grade: B+.
