Synopsis
FUORI
2025 | Italy, France | Italian with English subtitles
Australian premiere
This elegant and moving film from award-winning writer/director Mario Martone (Nostalgia, The King of Laughter) follows a decisive event in the life of renowned Italian feminist writer Goliarda Sapienza, brilliantly portrayed by Valeria Golino.
Rome, 1980. Unable to get her novel The Art of Joy published, author Goliarda Sapienza finds herself briefly imprisoned after she steals some jewellery from a wealthy friend. The experience turns out to be life-changing, as Goliarda discovers a world without class barriers, and forms a deep bond with some of the younger inmates (played by Matilda De Angelis and Elodie).
After their release and during a sweltering summer, the women continue to meet. Her friends’ stories and struggles for independence liberate Goliarda, who re-discovers the joy of living, and her drive to write.
Inspired by Sapienza’s 1983 autobiography The University of Rebibbia, Fuori is an inspiring story of friendship, female solidarity and freedom, capturing the essence of a remarkable woman ahead of her time, whose aspiration for personal and collective freedom remains topical.
