Nostalgia (2022 film)

The film follows Felice, a man who returns to his hometown of Naples to visit his ill mother after spending 40 years living in Egypt,[4] where he also converted to Islam, and married an Egyptian woman.

Don Luigi then introduces Felice to a Camorra family, and during dinner he drinks wine for the very first time, becomes uninhibited, and talks about his childhood spent with Oreste, making everyone speechless.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Walking the tightrope between gangster drama and character study, Nostalgia takes us through the criminal underbelly of Naples in search of a past that may be better left behind.

[8] Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter praised acting performances by Favino and Ragno, Martone's direction and Paolo Carnera's camerawork, calling it a "surprisingly absorbing film" but adding that its exploration of nostalgia "gets telegraphed to the point of exhaustion.

"[9] Nostalgia was released in Italy just in time to qualify for the annual 2022 Nastro d'Argento (Silver Ribbon) Awards handed out by the Italian national association of film critics SNGCI, in a ceremony held on 20 June 2022 at the MAXXI museum in Rome, where it received seven nominations and four wins.
