Is she a siren or a myth?
Scenario
Partenope is the woman who bears the name of her city. In Greek myth, Parthenope is a siren who committed suicide after failing to charm Odysseus. Her corpse was carried by the tides to the place where the Castel dell’Ovo is now built, and so she gave the name to the city that would later become Naples, Naples.
What is Partenope if not a love letter to youth?
Partenope is the epitome of the city of Naples in the movie.. HeatWritten by Peter GregsonPerformed by Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Cloud. Celeste dalla Porta embodies all the years we’ve lived and forgotten, all the pain and love we’ve endured, all the nights we’ve been awake talking nonsense.
It is impossible not to fall for her
Sorrentino had the ability to capture her beauty and he made a film around it. Rather, she is a perfect woman, a kind of deity: too perfect to be true. How could you not watch in awe as her meditative gaze turns to a smile: falling in love is just as easy.
It creates a feeling of artificiality that can be distracting and annoying
So I announce: A new Diva is born, an eternal star, forever young. Except for Celeste, the film seems to be just looking for the best shots and poetry quotes. The narrative is loose and the plot is essentially non-existent as the film is more concerned with chasing aesthetics than crafting a cohesive story.
I hope you might be too
It’s an artistic choice that some may love and others may hate. I love Celeste dalla Porta in this movie and I am more than happy.
