Directed by Paolo Sorrentino
With Filippo Scotti, Toni Servillo, Teresa Saponangelo
Rated R, 130 minutes, DCP
In Italian and Neapolitan with English subtitles.
Returning to a personal subject after two seasons of both young and new popes on HBO and the Berlusconi-skewering Loro, Oscar-winning Paolo Sorrentino heads home to Naples for a coming-of-age story.
Young loner Fabietto (Filippo Scotti) retreats to books and the television to watch Maradona play for his local club team. Under the arm of his older brother Marchino (Marlon Joubert), he paves his way for adulthood before that path is upheaved.
