British actress, producer, and fimmaker (wife of musician Sting) Trudie Styler delves into one of Italy's most culturally rich, complicated and beautiful cities. Through interviews and with the guidance of Neapolitans like Roberto Saviano (author of the seminal 'Gomorrah') and actress Francesco Di Leva (Last Night of Amore) Styler reveals aspects of the city that remain unknown to the outside world. Captured with arresting cinematography by Dante Spinotti, and using music collaborations, Styler translates for us the voice of Naples. The Greeks founded Napoli and it has been invaded, colonised and fought over by the Byzantines, Normans and French, Spanish and Nazi's. In the 1800's it was the third largest city in Western Europe. This unmatched history is present in everything from the cuisine to the music to the reputation for crime. Styler presents us with all the beauty without ever shying away from the social complexity and challenges the city faces. As a Neopolitan, it feels to me, like the world is finally re-discovering and celebrating this unique, multifaceted city again. After watching this documentary, I cannot imagine it will not be on your itinerary for your next trip to Italy. Paolo Rotondo
