The first Friday will feature two films by the acclaimed contemporary Italian auteur, Paolo Sorrentino: The Consequences of Love (2004) and This Must Be The Place (2011). Sorrentino is renowned for his visual opulence, profound thematic exploration, and a unique narrative approach to filmmaking. Rich, surreal, striking and laden with symbolism - he also has a scorching sense of humor. His storytelling often eschews traditional narrative structures, opting instead for a more fluid and non-linear approaches. Sorrentino explores complex themes such as the nature of power, the fragility of human relationships, and the search for meaning in a modern world. He delves into the psyche of his characters, creating deeply nuanced and often flawed individuals. He is known for elaborate graceful camera moves that sometimes defy spatial comprehension.
