Requiem Espresso

Requiem Espresso is a love letter to pop cinema culture. It's the story of Francesco: a delivery guy that sleeps on his friend's sofa. Only a few years earlier he was Frank, the front man of a band that was on the verge of success. Then one day, during his deliveries, an opportunity knocks on his door: to open the concert of an international band and finally make his comeback on the stage. Frank will have to put together his old band with which he burned bridges and face the past he escaped from. He does not know, however, that the concert is actually a cover for something very different...

Directed by Gilberto Giuliani, Requiem Espresso leans on a strong ensemble — Gilberto Giuliani, Yuri Casagrande Conti, Marouane Zotti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
