Je so’ pazzo poster
6.3

Je so’ pazzo is an intense portrait of Pino Daniele—a rebellious soul born in the alleys of Naples who revolutionized Italian music by blending blues, jazz, and Neapolitan tradition. The film chronicles his rise, from a childhood marked by abandonment to his legendary 1981 concert before a crowd of 200,000. Amidst family conflicts, personal vulnerabilities, and deep loves, Pino finds a musical language to express what words cannot. Yet success brings new challenges: an unresolved relationship with his father, the burden of expectations, and the risk of repeating past mistakes. It is not merely the story of an extraordinary musician, but that of a man grappling with himself, seeking reconciliation with his roots and the love of a city that never stopped waiting for him.

Romantic Guide to Lost Places poster

Benno and Allegra: he's over fifty, English, and drinks like a fish; she's twenty years younger, a travel blogger with lots of imagination. They both live off their lies and have no intention of stopping now. Next-door neighbors who had never met until the day he wound up on the wrong landing, and nothing would ever be the same. Sheer chance leads this odd couple on a flight towards lost or forgotten places, where their mutual support makes for self-discovery.

He is twenty-five, has a violent temper and a difficult past behind. He works as a warden in a car park that borders a Roma camp.

Antonia poster
5.7

Distinguished Italian poet Antonia Pozzi (1912–1938) was among those women who were at odds with the times in which they lived. Her poems record her inability to adapt to social norms and her desire to live fully, and in poetry she sought an escape from reality and from her own complex soul and emotional life.
