“People think alcohol makes an actor dizzy, but when I was drinking I went through a really bad phase”: we spoke to Gary Oldman

Paolo Sorrentino's new film, “Parthenope”, a love letter to Naples and the female body, with Gary Oldman playing John Cheever, is coming to Portugal this Thursday. Expresso spoke to the English actor, who confessed: “I once did a complicated scene with Demi, but I was really drunk. The next day I apologized to her.”

In this era of woke cinematic culture, Paolo Sorrentino wanted to make an ode to feminine beauty with the so-called male gaze . In “Parthenope” he films a muse from Naples, a body that merges with the seduction of the city itself. It is the filmmaker of “The Great Beauty” who takes his desire to find another “great beauty” to the extreme.
