Winner: Special Jury Prize, 2025 Venice Film Festival
“A sublime mix of unease and quirk, a faithful representation of modern life with which anyone anywhere can identify” – Barbara Goslawski, POV Magazine
The latest film from celebrated documentary filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi, whose works have won both the Golden Lion at Venice and Golden Bear in Berlin. Naples is a city forever marked by the looming presence of Mount Vesuvius. Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call.
In Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Neapolitan and English, with English subtitles.
Co-presented by Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto.
Toronto-based publication The Seventh Art conducted an interview during TIFF 50 with filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi to discuss the film and its production. You can read the interview in full here.
