An intense embrace between three boys, the camera rolling, while music and pathos grow. Paolo Sorrentino chose the Giffoni Film Festival to show some of the images from his highly anticipated new film "Parthenope", coming to theaters October 24 and with some special previews on September 19. "This is one of the most important in the film," the Oscar winner says, because Parthenope is "a film about youth, about what it means to be young, and I chose Giffoni precisely to reach all young people". The director, remotely connected, and the three protagonists Celeste Dalla Porta (Young Parthenope), Dario Aita, Daniele Rienzo in the room, tell about themselves and the film. "Being young is a great responsibility," Sorrentino says, "because when you are young you are building your future and at the same time your past: the one we will remember in the most vivid, melancholic, bright and radiant way". He adds, "This scene describes one of those moments when you are young not thinking about the future or the past. I wish you young people to live those moments as much as possible, when the present just happens, when as Sandro Penna said “you are so alive that so alive you cannot be”. A feeling of love, a present that no longer pits you against the bonds that the future builds".
