FOR NEW FERZAN OZPETEK MOVIE

Well, we probably won't be seeing her, sadly, anymore as Livia Drusilla the scheming empress of Rome as her Domina epic series has obviously died after two seasons, but gorgeous

Diamanti is out in Italy this December

Kasia Smutniak appears in DIAMANTI movie from renowned director Ferzan Ozpetek whose Nuovo Olimpo was a hit at Netflix last year. New movie is set for release in Italy on December 19th. 

 

WHAT'S THE STORY?

A director summons his favorite actresses, those he worked with and those he loved. He wants to make a film about women but doesn't reveal much: he observes them, takes inspiration, gets inspired, until his imagination catapults them into another era, into a past where the noise of sewing machines fills a managed workplace and populated by women, where men have small marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: that of customs. Between solitudes, passions, anxieties, heartbreaking shortcomings and indissoluble bonds, reality and fiction interpenetrate, as do the lives of the actresses with that of the characters, the competition with sisterhood, the visible with the invisible.
