Leonora addio

Paolo Taviani, Italy, 2022, 90’

When he died, the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello left precise instructions: no funeral or celebrations. But that is not what happened… This tenderly humorous film shows the adventurous journey of Pirandello’s ashes from Rome to his birthplace in Sicily. A nostalgic homage by the great Italian filmmaker Paolo Taviani to the people and the life at the time of Pirandello’s death, framed by the poetics and content of his works.
