What critics compared Parthenope to
A rather incestuous relationship with her depressed brother and their shared friend Sandri skirts around Bertolucci’s The Dreamers (2003) territory before ending in Riamondo’s suicide, a plot twist which seems instantly inevitable when the film segues to 1968, a dramatic catalyst which is leaned on quite heavily.
