MADLY (FOLLEMENTE)

Lara and Piero meet for a first date. They like one-another but dare not confess it (not even to themselves). As the night evolves, Madly depicts that and the internal lives of Lara and Piero: the fiery passion of Eros, Romeo’s yearning, Tinkerbell’s impulsiveness – emotions enacted by a cast of Italy’s biggest stars in an inspired and inventive romantic comedy.

In many ways, Madly plays like a grown-up take on Disney’s celebrated Inside Out, offering laughs at every turn and infectious chemistry. Madly is director Paolo Genovese’s return to the comedic brilliance of Perfect Strangers – a major worldwide hit and the most remade film in the history of cinema. Like Perfect Strangers before it, Madly is an imaginative and unexpected romantic comedy, and has already amassed an impressive 19 million euro at the Italian box office.
