Is she a mermaid or a myth?
Tale
Partenope is a woman who bears the name of her city. In Greek myth, Partenope is the mermaid who committed suicide after failing to enchant Odysseus. Her body was carried by the tide to the site where the Castle of the Egg now stands, and for this reason she gave her name to the city that would later become Neapolis, Naples.
If love, as a means of survival, has failed?
In the film, Partenope is the personification of the city of Naples. Heat Written by Peter Gregson Starring: Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Klouda. That’s what I like about Sorrentino, that his films are like a book of a thousand existential questions that collide like electrons in the atom of our consciousness, trying to find the integrity of our own self, instigating us to so many questions: what we think when our gaze rises; what it is to not use the beauty that is endowed to you and what price you will pay for it; what is the power of love when we are young; How do you carry the burden of being smarter than others and does this make you an abnormal person or just sad and misunderstood?
When is it time to get out?
What does personal freedom become when you lock it in a cage? Still, there are questions we are not prepared to know the answers to, because we have not gone through suffering, and only suffering is the key to consciousness. A sad film where personal freedom is forced to be locked away in order to survive and not be killed by the tyrannical and backward society that has one main occupation – to judge everyone with the iron hammer of its prejudices and traditions.
And in Naples, as we have seen, there are many
A small hell in an apparent paradise where not everyone survives. To find out what the outcome will be for the minority whose emotional intelligence does not conform to public prejudice, watch Partenope and suffer! The important thing is not to judge anyone, so as not to be judged!
