(John Turturro, 2010, Italy, USA, 35mm, 95 min) John Turturro's unconditional commitment to Italy and its culture has developed into a unique film experience. Passione's antique scenery, distinctive sounds and beautiful music take the viewer into the streets of Naples and on a voyage through time and space. The film's strength lays in the diversity of the soundtrack, each song its own universe, each its own poem. Naples becomes the ideal setting for a breathtaking odyssey, where the musicians perform on the streets and take over the city's plazas, ultimately capturing the hearts of its spectators. Turturro (Barton Fink, O Brother Where Art Thou) brings Naples and its heritage to the big screen in a way that confirms its essential contribution to our civilization.

"A cinematic love letter to the swinging sounds of the Italian city of Naples and to the city itself." Variety
