SAINT LAURENT EDITIONS PRESENTS PARTHENOPE.
AS PART OF SAINT LAURENT PRODUCTIONS’ INVOLVEMENT IN PAOLO SORRENTINO’S LATEST FILM PARTHENOPE, ANTHONY VACCARELLO SOUGHT TO BRING THE FILM’S DISTINCTIVE ATMOSPHERE INTO THE WORLD OF THE ARTBOOK: A BOOK DESIGNED AS AN ARCHIVAL BOX. THIS COLLECTOR’S PIECE CONTAINS EXCLUSIVE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOGRAPHS, FILM STILLS INCLUDING NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE PICTURES BY GREG WILLIAMS, AND THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT WRITTEN BY PAOLO SORRENTINO. IT IS THE SECOND INSTALLMENT IN THE DIRECTOR’S BOXES COLLECTION, FOLLOWING EMILIA PEREZ BY JACQUES AUDIARD.
PARTHENOPE TELLS THE STORY OF ITS EPONYMOUS HEROINE, FROM HER BIRTH ON THE SHORES OF CHIAIA IN 1950 THROUGH TO THE PRESENT DAY. AS TIME UNFOLDS, PARTHENOPE COMES TO EMBODY NAPLES ITSELF—ITS PEOPLE, ITS TRADITIONS, AND ITS BELIEFS. ONCE AGAIN, SORRENTINO’S WORK CAPTURES THE FERVOR OF YOUTH, THE TENDER STIRRINGS OF FLEETING LOVES, AND THE INEFFABLE PASSAGE OF TIME.
