About La tristezza ha il sonno leggero
In a dilapidated Neapolitan apartment furnished in punk style, a dysfunctional extended family takes center stage. Amidst arguments, reconciliations, tensions, and clarifications, on the night the Berlin Wall falls, Erri Gargiulo, a shy and unambitious forty-year-old, decides to tear down his own personal walls and turn his life around.
Directed by Marco Mario De Notaris, La tristezza ha il sonno leggero leans on a strong ensemble — Stefania Sandrelli, Serena Rossi, Marco Mario De Notaris — 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 2021.
