La tenerezza (Holding Hands)

[Machine Translation] A father-daughter feud, a fleeting pseudo-family, and an incident... Neorealismo of the 21st century! Master filmmaker Gianni Amelio presents a powerful portrayal of the modern family in this new masterpiece of Italian cinema. Starring Renato Carpentieri, the film has won three major Italian film awards: the David di Donatello Award, the Italian Golden Globe Award, and the Nastro d'Argento Award! Based on "La tentazione di essere felici" ("The Temptation of Being Happy") by Lorenzo Marrone, one of Italy's best-selling authors. The film depicts the rivalry between a father and daughter against the backdrop of a mysterious incident, the feelings of a family that cannot understand each other and is at crossroads, and a local society that has little connection with others... The film overturns the image of "family-oriented Italy" and "friendly downtown Naples" and mercilessly exposes the darkness in the hearts of people living today. The director of this shocking film is a disabled man who lives with his parents in Italy. The director is Gianni Amelio, an Italian master filmmaker who has depicted human relationships with sometimes cool-headedness and sometimes tenderness in films such as "The Key to the House" (2004), about a father who confronts his disabled son after 15 years, and "The First Man" (2011), adapted from Albert Camus' unfinished autobiographical last work. In this film, Amelio himself serves as the original director and screenwriter, spinning a tale that is infinitely close to people in distress. Commentary leaflet enclosed.
