DIRECTED BY: Emanuele Crialese
STARRING: Penélope Cruz, Luana Giuliani, Vincenzo Amato
LANGUAGE: Italian, Spanish
Penélope Cruz stars in this gorgeous, involving melodrama which makes imaginative use of director Emanuele Crialese’s own biography.
Set in 1970’s Rome, a young teenager (Luana Giuliani) is beginning to question her identity, preferring to go by the male name Andrea, and harbouring a suspicion that she hails from another galaxy. Her mother Clara (Cruz) is a vivacious presence but begins to crumble under the strain of protecting her children from their abusive father.
Making use of luminous fantasy sequences, Crialese tells a story of childhood trauma and shifting identity with nuance and psychological honesty.
