Is she a siren or a myth?
Tale
Partenope is a woman who bears the name of her city. In the Greek myth, Parthenope is the siren who committed suicide after failing to enchant Odysseus.
In the movie, Parthenope is the embodiment of the city of Naples
Her body was brought by the tide to the place where Castel dell'Ovo is now built, and for this she gave the name to the city that would have later become Neapolis, Naples. WarmthWritten by Peter GregsonPerformed by Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Klouda.
Awesome director and awesome actor
Paolo directing Gary is 10/1 Great Movie. Gary Oldman definitely carried the whole movie and Paolo Sorrentino made a great choice with choosing Gary Oldman as John Cheever.
The Story is good
The movie is typically Artsy Fartsy like all of Paolo Sorrentino’s stuff. John Cheever is a great Character played by the awesome Gary Oldman and his character definitely made the Movie so good.
It's actually an underrated masterpiece
It's definitely worth watching this movie if you like Gary Oldman or artsy farty movies. Paolo Sorrentino is a great director and the movie made me think about myself.
