Review: Italian filmmaker Emanuele Crialese’s memoir of gender transition in 1970s Rome gets the small details right, and the big picture, too.
Written and directed by Emanuele Crialese, “L’immensità” possesses the unmistakable ring of truth: Based on his own experiences coming of age as a trans teenager in 1970s Rome, the film bursts not just with lived experience, but also with delicious period details and retro palette choices. When Andrea and his mother, Clara , want to escape the quiet misery of their home life, they watch a campy black-and-white variety show on TV.
As Andrea, the young actress Luana Giuliani delivers a watchful, utterly convincing performance as an adolescent occupying a multitude of liminal spaces — not just between male and female, but between child and adult, family member and separate being. There are moments in “L’immensità,” especially during reunions of Andrea’s extended family, when viewers might be reminded of Paolo Sorrentino’s similarly autobiographical “” from 2021.
