Youth
Directed by Paolo Sorrentino
Produced by Indigo Film, Medusa Film
A meditative, visually sumptuous exploration of aging, artistic legacy, and friendship set against the grandeur of the Swiss Alps, where two aging artists grapple with mortality and meaning.
Two lifelong friends bond whilst vacationing in a luxury Swiss Alps lodge as they ponder retirement. While Fred has no plans to resume his musical career despite the urging of his loving daughter Lena, Mick is intent on finishing the screenplay for what may be his last important film for his muse Brenda. And where will inspiration lead their younger friend Jimmy, an actor grasping to make sense of his next performance?
