“A modern myth of beauty incarnate—striking, seductive, and forever out of reach.”

“The hypnotizing Dalla Porta brings a strength and sadness to the role that underscores the film’s most compelling argument: Beauty may inspire awe and worship, but it also alienates. Can you ever be loved if you can never truly be known?”
—Beatrice Loayza, New York Times

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino (THE GREAT BEAUTY, THE YOUNG POPE) comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime, filmed on location in some of the most beautiful Mediterranean locales, starring Gary Oldman as author John Cheever, legendary ’60s icon Stefania Sandrelli and newcomer Celeste Dalla Porta as the title character Parthenope – pronounced PAR-net-thuh-PAY.
Parthenope, born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters.
