Synopsis
Follemente (Somebody to Love) (2025)
One of Italy's highest grossing films of 2025, Follemente (Madly) focuses on the conflicting emotions a man and a woman experience on their first date. Italian director and screenwriter Paolo Genovese (Perfect Strangers) takes us inside the chaotic, hilarious universe of Piero (Edoardo Leo), a divorced teacher and Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a furniture restorer. As they get to know each other, their inner thoughts, doubts, and impulses take on a life all their own. Eight other characters embody emotions and inner conflicts, playfully shaping the couple's thought worlds. With an A-list star cast and fresh cinematography, the film is a witty and insightful exploration of the chaos, fears and passions that make first encounters so intense. Follemente is a sparkling take on love, communication and the complex ways of the human heart.
