Synopsis
From award-winning filmmaker Adam Leon, ITALIAN STUDIES is a lyrical film about dislocation, connection, and the elusive nature of identity. While visiting New York City from her native London, writer Alina Reynolds (Academy Award®-nominee Vanessa Kirby) inexplicably loses her memory and suddenly becomes unmoored and adrift on the streets of Manhattan with no sense of time or place — or even her own name. As Alina’s consciousness swings between imagined conversations, fragments of her own short stories and the bustling city around her, she finds an anchor in charismatic teenager Simon (Simon Brickner). Drawn to the lost woman, Simon soon introduces Alina to his free-spirited group of friends, and together they make their way through a disorienting cityscape full of life, beauty, and music.

Não deixe a sinopse e a carinha de cachorrinha perdida da Vanessa Kirby enganar você. Italian Studies não é sobre uma mulher sem memória perdida em NY. Quem dera fosse.

aaronJun 13, 2021A dreamy lark of a movie shot piecemeal between July 2018 and April of the following year, Adam Leon’s “Italian Studies” may be set along (and expertly stolen from) the crowded sidewalks of London and New York, but it’s unmistakably suffused with the woozy dislocation and…

Sophie Rose SaoirseJan 16, 20222022 Ranked 👍 vignettes exhibited throughout the 80-minute runtime are several amalgamations of passages from Alina’s (Vanessa Kirby) stories and memories that suddenly became lost. they reveal little about the character, about her creating inevitable relationships,…
marsh boyJun 14, 2021Vanessa Kirby is a beautiful creature. It's pretty neat to see her walking around NY for an hour talking to strangers.

CharlieJun 5, 2022Something went wrong here I suspect. I can’t believe that this final product of the movie is what Vanessa Kirby signed on for to follow up her stellar work in both Pieces Of A Woman and The World To Come, surely somewhere along the track it became a different movie than…

Vanessa Kirby is amazing but this role doesn’t feel right for her. The films central themes of list of identity and youth are portrayed best by ya act
Luiza Swierzawska is "meh" onItalian Studiesas much as I love the exploration of one’s identity through an amnesia episode on the streets of NYC (how relatable!), it was a waste of my time

None of it adds up to much of a movie. Italian Studies is more an experimental collection of filmed conversations, filmed docu-drama style, interspersed with clips of a gorgeous blonde wandering New York. But because it stars Vanessa Kirby…

For a long stretch, Italian Studies turns this trip down memory-loss lane into a low-wattage livewire, an unpredictable stroll into the unknown. Its hero will slowly, eventually come back around to remembering her life before the reset. The movie itself, however, is unforgettable from the jump.

During an amnesiac’s atmospheric nighttime ramble through Manhattan, the seeds of a narrative are sewn but never nurtured.
