Synopsis
Nuovo Olimpo (2023) is an Italian romance you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ferzan Özpetek — known internationally for Steam: The Turkish Bath — sets the film in 1970s Rome, where two young men, Enea and Pietro, meet by chance at a neighbourhood cinema and fall into something neither of them planned. Then they lose each other.
The story moves across two timelines. Damiano Gavino and Andrea Di Luigi carry the younger versions; Luisa Ranieri appears in the present-day thread. The 1970s Rome sequences feel genuinely inhabited — Özpetek grew up in the city in that era, and it shows in the texture of the streets and the light. The cinema itself functions as a fixed point while everything around it shifts.
Özpetek rarely gives his characters clean endings, and this one doesn't break that pattern. That restraint is precisely what makes it land. Stream Nuovo Olimpo (2023) online on iFILM.
