Film
Nostalgia (12A)
Dir. Mario Martone, Italy, 2022, 118 mins, subtitled. Cast. Pierfrancesco Favino, Francesco Di Leva, Tommaso Ragno.
Felice Lasco has been absent from Naples for over 40 years. His wife, Arlette is the impetus behind his returning to visit his ailing mother. Felice’s initial impression is that the city has changed, in some ways beyond recognition. And although the past can be hidden, it never entirely disappears. Against the advice of a priest he once knew, he attempts to re-engage with an old school friend, now one of the city’s leading crime bosses...
Naples is as much a character of Nostalgia as Felice, each street portraying an aspect of its layered personality. It’s a place that director Martone knows thoroughly and his film is an homage to the city’s beauty and brutality, and its rhythms and sounds.
