Napoli Velata by Ferzan Ozpetek: film with mysteries, passion and superstition arrives in cinemas

At the end of December the new film by Ozpetek, Napoli Velata, arrives in cinemas, an intrigue of passion, mystery, superstitions and beauty.

Ferzan Ozpetek's highly anticipated film Napoli Velata is about to hit theaters, with its official release date set for December 28, 2017. It's one of the director's most intriguing films, especially among Neapolitan fans, because it sets an intriguing story in an equally mysterious city.

The protagonist is Giovanna Mezzogiorno , supported by Lina Sastri, Alessandro Borghi and Anna Bonaiuto and the story unfolds in the meanders of a crime and a deep passion that bring to light superstitions and shadows that suddenly reawaken.

The film promises to be suspenseful, set against the backdrop of a veiled Naples that reveals itself , a Naples that has inexorably fascinated the director for years . Ozpetek, in fact, after spending a long time in the city during the staging of La Traviata at the San Carlo, was left breathless by the details and mysteries of Naples, the contrasts between wealth, elegance, and poverty, its beauty, its layered history, its culture, the liveliness of its citizens, and its traditions.

Napoli Velata, a film that differs from clichés

The film, as Ozpetek himself stated, completely distances itself from all the clichés that characterize Naples and the scenes depicted in Gomorrah because it speaks of culture, open-air museums, elegance, and aware citizens . Furthermore, the city was the location for masterpieces such as Vittorio De Sica's The Gold of Naples and Roberto Rossellini's Journey to Italy, further reasons that convinced the director to film here.

You can already buy tickets for the show at UCI Cinemas.
