Partenope is a woman who bears the name of her city. In Greek myth, Partenope is a siren who committed suicide after failing to charm Odysseus.
In the film, Partenope is the personification of the city of Naples
Her body was washed ashore where Castel dell'Ovo is now, giving its name to the city that would later become Naples. Heat Written by: Peter Gregson Narrated by: Peter Gregson, Warren Zielinski, Magdalena Filipczak, Laurie Anderson, Ashok Klouda.
At first I was annoyed and convinced that I wouldn't make it to the end, but then the scene with the aging star caught my attention
After a disparaging speech, "there were" fellow citizens, and despite her bald head, Partenope listens to his "advice" and touches his face with great compassion. It was at this moment that I realized that the film is not about the beauty of some mythical siren, but about the beauty you see in people beyond their appearance.
All of this comes out in the most brutal, horrific scenes, but in Partenope, those who embody them find understanding, acceptance, and become miracles
And it’s not after he’s lost his youth, as his professor suggests—if he had, he wouldn’t have been able to impress her with his dismal performance during the exam. No, Partenope demonstrates his superpower throughout his life, and there are many examples of this: when she reads John Cheever, she’s an alcoholic, depressed, a miracle; when he passionately kisses a disfigured actress… And because he’s the personification of Naples, the human imperfections he sees are connected to the city’s history—ignorance and misery, patriarchal oppression, religiosity and superstition, violence.
Still, 8 out of 10 for mild pretentiousness
You can't be arrogant when you're preaching with your arms around all souls.
