Giordano Fonte is a Neapolitan writer who moves through his city and finds it overwhelming, terrifying, yet at the same time fascinating; he barely recognizes the Naples he returned to years ago. But he is not alone. He’s with Caracas, a man who supports the extreme right and is about to convert to Islam, seeking the meaning in life that he hasn’t found. Giordano sings of the doomed love between Caracas and Yasmina as he crosses a city which everyone hopes to survive. All of them, even Caracas and Giordano, dream of opening their eyes after a nightmare and seeing the bright light of day after a long dark night. screenplay Marco D’Amore Francesco Ghiaccio based on Napoli Ferrovia by Ermanno Rea cinematography Stefano Meloni editing Mirko Platania music Rodrigo D’Erasmo sound Claudio Bagni production design Fabrizio D’Arpino costumes Laurianne Scimemi Del Francia cast Toni Servillo (Giordano Fonte) Marco D’Amore (Caracas) Lina Camélia Lumbroso (Yasmina) Brian Parisi (Little boy) Andrea Nicolini (Saverio) Marco Foschi (Fascist leader) producers Luciano Stella Roberto Sessa Maria Carolina Terzi Carlo Stella productions Picomedia Mad Entertainment Vision Distribution executive producers Gennaro Fasolino Andrea Leone in collaboration with Prime Video Sky with the support of Regione Campania Film Commission Regione Campania Italian distribution Vision Distribution “Caracas is a product of his time, lost and alone, seeking out truths about his existence that he cannot find. Caracas is the Christ of the meek, the humblest of men. He hates the sea and curses Naples through clenched teeth. By his side, a sort of elder statesman he has found, a novelist who roams the underside of a city that no longer exists, which he no longer recognizes, but was once his. Giordano wants to stop writing, since he knows that coming back was a mistake. The Naples that Caracas knows is a time-worn, jilted beauty: bruised and bold and damned. It isn’t Naples; it’s a South American barrio, a Brazilian favela, an Indian slum. Still, on the damp streets and alleys of this Babel, everyone there thinks they can have their dream, slow dancing in passionate embraces. They all hope they won’t be damned but saved. All of them, even Caracas and Giordano, dream of opening their eyes after a nightmare and seeing the bright light of day after a long dark night.” (Marco D'Amore) Marco D’Amore graduated from the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Arts in Milan in 2004. He became a stage actor with troupes such as that headed by Elena Bucci and Marco Sgrosso, one play being 2007 La trilogia della villeggiatura, with Toni Servillo.

After a few years in prison for collusion with the mafia, Catello, a career politician, has lost everything. When the Italian secret service asks for his help to capture his godson Matteo, the last of the mob’s kingpins on the lam, Catello seizes the opportunity to get back into the game. A shrewd operator with dozens of roles he can assume, and a tireless illusionist who turns truth into fiction and lies into truths, Catello dreams up an unlikely correspondence with the fugitive, exploiting his emotional neediness. It’s a high-risk gamble, when a mafioso on the world’s most-wanted list is involved. screenplay Fabio Grassadonia Antonio Piazza cinematography Luca Bigazzi editing Paola Freddi music Colapesce sound Stefano Campus production design Gaspare De Pascali costumes Andrea Cavalletto cast Toni Servillo (Catello Palumbo) Elio Germano (Matteo) Daniela Marra (Rita Mancuso) Barbora Bobulova (Lucia Russo) Giuseppe Tantillo (Pino Tumino) Fausto Russo Alesi (Emilio Schiavon) Antonia Truppo (Stefania) with the participation of Tommaso Ragno (Papacena) producers Nicola Giuliano Francesca Cima Carlotta Calori Viola Prestieri co-producer Alexis Dantec associate producer Stefano D’Avella production Indigo Film with Rai Cinema co-production Les Films Du Losange with the support of Canal + with the participation of Ciné+OCS with the support of MiC – Direzione generale Cinema e Audiovisivo with the support of Regione Lazio world sales Les Films du Losange Italian distribution 01 Distribution “Matteo is the reluctant prince of an empty, absurd world: the mirror that reflects an entire people, but that mirror only reflects the emptiness the people splash around in, though they think it’s a large sea, sparkling in the sun, blessed by the gods. A black comedy, tragic and absurd, which starts off with the different storytelling styles used for the two main characters. Catello is an exuberant jester, a windbag, a comedic persona whose cheerful lack of morals is grotesque, sublime, and endearing, while Matteo’s story is more claustrophobic as it probes his infantile, pathological narcissism. There’s a correlation, structurally and thematically speaking, and a sensory and chromatic one as well, in the evolution of Catello’s identity and that of Matteo. A decanting between their two worlds, due to their written correspondence, and a gradual reconnection between the two different storytelling styles that steps up the pace of the plot, intertwines the two characters’ fates, and serves up the finale, in which Catello inexorably winds up trapped in the same deadly dimension as Matteo Massimo Denaro.” (Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza) Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza made their directing debut in 2013, with the film Salvo, which triumphed at Cannes’ Critics’ Week, winning the Gran Prix and the Prix Révélation. Released in twenty countries, the film also won the Silver Ribbon for Best Cinematography and the Globo d’Oro for Best Actress. In 2017, they were back at Cannes with Sicilian Ghost Story, the

In the dead of a night like any other, Irene’s phone trills. It’s her ex-boyfriend Pietro she hasn’t heard from in months, since they broke up. She hesitates, then answers. Pietro is delirious, and his confused mutterings suggest he could be about to commit a desperate act. All Irene can do is go out in the night, drive through the deserted streets, and stay on the phone, hoping to reach him in time. screenplay Manfredi Lucibello Jacopo Del Giudice based on the novel of the same name by Alessandra Montrucchio cinematography Emilio M.

The book presented me with an occasion to move forward with my own personal take on the noir genre and make a film that was essential to me (in the sense that I couldn’t not make it), starting with its elements: a person, a voice, and a car. In the novel, the protagonists have no names and no past; I searched for those by rummaging through my own experiences, emotions, and fears. That’s how Irene and Pietro came to be. […] We in the audience experience every single instant: there are ellipses or time jumps. There is no rest in between. We’re always at Irene’s side, and she is there from the first to the last frame. […] In this race against time, as Irene’s car piles on the miles, we become witnesses not only to a physicl journey, but also an inner journey that is dream-like and cathartic.” (Manfredi Lucibello) Manfredi Lucibello wrote and directed the short Storia di Nessuno in 2010. In 2013, his film Centoquaranta – La strage dimenticata, about the maritime disaster of the ship Moby Prince, premiered at the Festival dei Popoli and went on to triumph at the Bellaria Film Festival, receive the Silver Lily at Cinema FEDIC, and get shortlisted for the 20th annual Ilaria Alpi awards. In 2018, Lucibello made his first feature film, Tutte le mie notti, selected for Alice nella Città. The film received several awards, including a Silver Ribbon for Best Debut Actress for Benedetta Porcaroli. Four years later, his documentary Bice Lazzari – Il ritmo e l’ossessione bowed at the Rome Film Festival. In 2023, his film Non riattaccare made the competition lineup at the Torino Film Festival.

It speaks to the human soul, delves into our most recondite fears, and loses its way in meanders of darkness, clinging to a ray of light. The Well takes strong emotions to the extreme, shattering the border between reality and fantasy, good and evil, life and death. You’ll discover new recesses of evil.” (Federico Zampaglione) Federico Zampaglione, with his band Tiromancino, has become one of Italy’s most popular singer-songwriters, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. What’s more, Zampaglione has always been a fan of the horror genre. In 2004, he asked Lamberto Bava to direct the music video for “Amore Impossible”, a tribute to the film Danger: Diabolik by Mario Bava (1968). In 2006, he made his directorial debut with the film Nero Bifamiliare, a black comedy starring Claudia Gerini. Two years later, he made his first horror film, Shadow, which premiered at Noir in Festival, just like his next film, Tulpa (2012), the latter in competition. During the lockdown in 2020, Zampaglione created, directed, edited and produced first the short horror film Bianca, then Phase 2. Previously, in 2017, he had published his first novel, Dove tutto è a metà, co-written with Giacomo Gensini and adapted for the big screen in 2001, under the title Morrison.

The city has changed, and so have I. I saw it through new eyes as I walked its streets at a different pace: an adagio. […] An outstanding cast was eager to come on board, and each one of them brought their character to life. They fleshed out the inexorable and even poignant decline of three old glories of the Roman underworld, futilely seeking redemption in a world that is even more cynical, chaotic, and brutal than the one they had lorded over in their heyday. It’s a world that steamrolls family ties, friendships, and fraternal loyalties, making money the only currency of human bonds. The city is ruled by chaos, corruption, and cynicism, choked by a scorching heat, ravaged by fires, and plunged into darkness due to random blackouts. There is one ray of light, however: the new generation.” (Stefano Sollima) Stefano Sollima (Rome) was the showrunner, executive producer, and director of the TV series Gomorrah, based on the book by Roberto Saviano; he also directed the twenty-two episodes of the popular series Romanzo Criminale, about the Gang of the Magliana. His directorial debut on the big screen, A.C.A.B.: All Cops Are Bastards, earned him six nominations at the 2012 David di Donatello awards, including best debut director. Three years later, he directed Suburra, based on the novel of the same name by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo De Cataldo, followed by Soldado in 2018. In 2019, he directed the series ZeroZeroZero, about the drug trade. In 2021, he helmed Without Remorse, the big screen adaptation of the 1993 Tom Clancy thriller of the same name. 2023 Adagio 2021 Without Remorse 2018
