In
what may be Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino's (The Great Beauty,
2013) most intimate feature to date, the joys and sorrows of life
and family are embraced.
Returning
to film in his hometown of Naples for the first time since his
directorial debut of One Man Up (2001), Sorrentino reminisces,
with this semi-autobiographical memoir, about his 1980's adolescent
years and experiences that set in motion his career.
Nested
in a rollercoaster of boisterous, but heartfelt and moving, family
dynamics, this drama-comedy follows the Schisa family's
seventeen-year-old Fabietto (newcomer Filippo Scotti's) Father (Toni
Servillo), mother (Teresa Saponangelo), and aunt Patrizia (Luisa
Ranieri).
Perfectly
blending emotions and aesthetics, are Daria D'Antonio's vibrant
panoramic shots of the breathtaking Amalfi coast.
The
Hand of God is Italy's submission for the 2022 Academy Awards for
Best International Feature.
