Our take
Returning to the iridescent coastline of Naples, Paolo Sorrentino delivers a sumptuous disquisition on his career-defining preoccupations: youth and beauty. Starring Gary Oldman and—in a star-making turn—Celeste Dalla Porta, Parthenope is a ravishing epic that unfurls with melodious, sirenic allure.
