"Premam" (2015) is a delightful romantic comedy that explores the complexities of love, relationships, and self-discovery. With its engaging storyline, impressive performances, and soulful music, the film is a must-watch for fans of Malayalam cinema.

However, their relationship faces several challenges, and they eventually part ways. The film then moves forward in time, showcasing George's growth as a person and his journey towards self-discovery.
"Premam" (2015) is a Malayalam romantic comedy film directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Anupama Parameswaran, and Biniya Ramesh. The movie revolves around the life of George (played by Prithviraj), a chef who falls in love with Mounica (played by Anupama).
Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers a fantastic performance as George, bringing depth and nuance to his character. Anupama Parameswaran, as Mounica, is equally impressive and brings a sense of freshness to the film. The supporting cast, including Biniya Ramesh and Pradeep Padmanaban, also deliver solid performances.
The director Rocco Ricciardulli, from Bernalda, shot his second film, L’ultimo Paradiso between October and December 2019, several dozen kilometres from his childhood home in the Murgia countryside on the border of the Apulia and Basilicata regions. The beautiful, albeit dry and arid landscape frames a story inspired by real-life events relating to the gangmaster scourge of Italy’s martyred lands. It is set in the late 1950’s, an era when certain ancestral practices of aristocratic landowners, archaic professions and a rigid division of work, owners and farmhands, oppressors and oppressed still exist and the economic boom is still far away, in time and space.
The borgo of Gravina in Puglia, where time seems to stand still, is perched at a height of 400m on a limestone deposit part of the fossa bradanica in the heart of the Parco nazionale dell’Alta Murgia. The film immortalizes the town’s alleyways, ancient residences and evocative aqueduct bridging the Gravina river. The surrounding wild nature, including olive trees, Mediterranean maquis and hectares of farm land, provides the typical colours and light of these latitudes. Just outside the residential centre, on the slopes of the Botromagno hill, which gives its name to the largest archaeological area in Apulia, is the Parco naturalistico di Capotenda, whose nature is so pristine and untouched that it provided a perfect natural backdrop for a late 1950s setting.
The alternative to oppression is departure: a choice made by Antonio whom we first meet in Trieste at the foot of the fountain of the Four Continents whose Baroque appearance decorates the majestic piazza Unità d’Italia.
