Hand of God (2021)

This is a Telling of the director's growing up experience, maybe fictionalized a little, maybe a lot, but it is apparently unlike his usual work and it appears that it is meant as a window into how he became who he is today. Set in Naples during the 1980s, Sorrentino’s movie follows introverted 17-year-old Fabietto Schiesi as he figures out his identity relative to his horny, embarrassing, and affectionate family members who say exactly what they think without any filter, and while they seem to mean well, sometimes they are just mean, but they always love him and he knows it. The movie takes several unexpected turns and is very atmospheric throughout. It is a personal, occasionally challenging and unconventional autobiography.
