Laura Bispuri

[11][12][13] Her third feature film, The Peacock's Paradise (2021), starring Dominique Sanda, Alba Rohrwacher, Maya Sansa, Tihana Lazovic, Leonardo Lidi, Fabrizio Ferracane, was screened at the Venice Film Festival in the official competition of Orizzonti.

In 2024, she directed all ten episodes of the fourth and final season of My Brilliant Friend, based on the novels by Elena Ferrante and produced by HBO and RAI.

[14] James Poniewozik from The New York Times praised the fourth and final season of My Brilliant Friend by writing: "Laura Bispuri, who directs every episode of the new season, conveys a brutal intimacy by holding on tight head shots of the actors.

In this story of people who cannot escape their closeness, the viewer cannot either; the camera pushes you into the hot faces of anger, lust, grief.

The series retains Ferrante’s prose in Lenù’s voice-over, but it also gives you sweat and tears and grimy streets whose air clings to your skin”.
