FolleMente: filming begins on Paolo Genovese’s new film with Edoardo Leo and Pilar Fogliati

After the success of the series The Lions of Sicilyavailable first on Disney+ and then on Rai1, Paolo Genovese returns to the set for the filming of his new film, FolleMentebased on one of his subjects and for which he wrote the screenplay together with Isabella Aguilar, Lucia Calamaro, Paolo Costella and Flaminia Gressi. The film, which will be released in cinemas on February 20, 2025 distributed by 01 Distribution, starts from a simple question: How much do we really know about ourselves when we make a decision? What if there were multiple versions of our ego within us, each with something to say?

FolleMente is this: a brilliant romantic comedy which goes beyond appearances by immersing itself in the minds of the two protagonists, Piero and Lara, revealing their most hidden thoughts and the internal battles that we all face. They are the ones who interpret them Edoardo Leo and Pilar Fogliatialthough we also find in the cast Emanuela Fanelli (Tinker Bell), Maria Chiara Giannetta (Splinter), Claudia Pandolfi (Alpha), Victoria Puccini (Juliet), Marco Giallini (The Professor), Maurizio Lastrico (Romeo), Rocco Papaleo (Valium) and Claudio Santamaria (Eros).
