Partenope and Naples that enchant, the first photos from the set by Paolo Sorrentino

The exclusive photos taken by Greg Williams on the set of Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino’s new film have been published in Hollywood Authentic Magazine. The film – as yet untitled – tells, in the director’s words, “the life of Partenope, named after her city, but is neither a mermaid nor a myth. From 1950, when she was born, to today. Inside.” You, the entire long repertoire of existence: the carelessness and its powerlessness, the classic beauty and its unstoppable change, the useless and impossible loves, the stale flirtations and the dizziness of love at first sight, the kisses in Capri- Nights, the flashes of happiness and the lasting pain, the real and the imagined fathers, the end of things, the new beginnings. The other, lived, observed, loved men and women, their melancholy digressions, the slightly downcast eyes, the impatience, the loss of hope of being able to laugh once more at a respected man who stumbles and falls in a street in the center. Always in the company of the passage of time, this most faithful friend. And from Naples, which beguiles, enchants, screams, laughs and then knows how to hurt you.
