"Nostalgia," 2022
Rione Sanità, Naples. Present day. Businessman Felice Lasco (Pierfrancisco Favino) returns from the Middle East to visit his aging mother. Wandering the streets, Felice rediscovers the city, its codes and rituals, and memories that still haunt him. Despite local priest Don Luigi’s advice to leave his past behind, he looks for his boyhood friend Oreste, now a feared local criminal.
Beautifully shot, "Nostalgia" gradually reveals itself as the parable of a man and a city teetering between redemption and damnation. Vibrantly capturing the pulsing heart of Naples, this movie is a deeply felt exploration of the complexity of homecoming.
Featuring the excellent Pierfrancesco Favino ("The Traitor," "The Hummingbird"), acclaimed writer/director Mario Martone’s absorbing and suspenseful new drama follows a man with a troubled past who returns to his native Neapolitan neighbourhood after 40 years of absence.
