      Leonora Addio

      2022 1h 30m Drama List
      38% 8 Reviews Tomatometer Pirandello died leaving precise arrangements: no funeral or celebration. In the end, the funerals were three. The film tells the story of the adventurous journey of Pirandello's ashes from Rome to Agrigento, among accidents, meetings and visions. A plane didn't take off because of old superstitions; a train slowly traveled towards the South. At last, Pirandello's ashes were thrown from a rock overlooking the Sicilian sea, creating the shape of a nail; "The Nail" was Pirandello's last work, inspired by a murder in Brooklyn and by the character of Bastianeddu, who already appeared in "Chaos".

      Pat Brown Slant Magazine Leonora Addio is a wrestling with memory and history through a deeply personal, if at times indulgent, lens. Rated: 2/4 Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International This film feels very much as if it might be intended as a farewell note. Yet it shows so much invention that you hope it might spark a solo renewal, however brief, for this veteran maestro. Feb 15, 2022 Full Review David Rooney Hollywood Reporter A strange and beguiling curio that shows an artist wrapping up the seventh decade of his career with sadness and nostalgia but also with a resilient spirit. Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily [Leonora Addio] looks and sounds sumptuous, but its two stories -- both of which raise questions about what the living owe the dead -- are disappointingly slight. Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Although crossed by some beautiful cinematic imagery, Leonora Addio hardly seems more than an experimental exercise. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 17, 2023 Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Leonora Addio is not a good film, but it may be that very insufficiency that makes that universe closed in on itself, valuable.
