Check out the trailer for Nuovo Olimpo, a sweeping, decade-spanning story about love found, lost, and then found again from writer-director Ferzan Özpetek. The title comes from the name of a little Italian movie theater where two young men, Enea (Damiano Gavino) and Pietro (Andrea Di Luigi) meet under the glow of the projector, forever changing the course of their lives. Official synopsis: “Two 25-year-old men who meet by chance, fall madly in love, and are then separated due to an unexpected event. For the next thirty years, they pursue the hope of finding each other again.” https://youtu.be/NatMTfOZsl8?si=DVKenO_JMnZehJxG The trailer gives us a glimpse into how Pietro and Enea find a sense of release through the movies shown at the Nuovo Olimpo and also how they found each other. But turmoil comes via the social movements of the 1970s, and when it arrives at the Nuovo Olimpo, Pietro and Enea find themselves separated by time and space for nearly 30 years. Nuovo Olimpo premiered this past week at the Rome Film Festival, and will debut exclusively on Netflix on November 1.
