Penelopes (2019)

In an all-time record, Ludovico Cantisani, a 17-years-old independent scholar of cinema and modern philosophy has managed to work with Luciano Tovoli, cinematographer for Antonioni, Tarkovskij, Schroeder and Argento, on his first Joyce-based short running movie, and on his first feature film already in development. 'Penelopes', named after James Joyce's 'Ulysses' and financed via crowdfunding, is Cantisani's attemp to dramatize the crisis of traditional male figure in contemporary society, which he glimpsed in Joyce and other XXth century novelist, chronicling a day in the life of a divorced middle aged man, Leonardo Nenti, a modern Leopold Bloom portrayed by Alberto Bonvento. Starring in 'Penelopes' also American actress Nicole Coffineau and Italian painter Sergio Sarra.
