The highs and lows of a restless youth collide headlong into the concrete realities of adulthood when Leonardo, a teenager from Palermo leaves home for the first time. His studies land him in Siena, by way of London, where he clashes with his instructor, the curriculum, and most chaotically, with himself. Produced by Luca Guadagnino, Diciannove (nineteen), marks the feature filmmaking debut of writer-director Giovanni Tortorici, a bold, brash and bemusing filmmaking talent.

Drew Gregory Autostraddle Unfortunately, Tortorici’s story is not as exciting as his craft. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety What makes it distinctive and unusually authentic within that subgenre is its avoidance of the neatly poignant growth arc that tends to lend such stories their spine. Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Kate Erbland IndieWire [Eventually], Diciannove and its inscrutable protagonist finally snap into place. And while that particular “place” is much darker than this sly, slippery film initially lets on, it ultimately proves to be far more thrilling. Rated: B+ Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Other than the many vista-captures, newcomer Manfredi Marini is in every scene of Giovanni Tortorici’s seductive, if sometimes too fragmented debut feature, Diciannove (Italian for Nineteen). And he proves to be a captivating presence onscreen. Rated: B- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com The debut film by Giovanni Tortorici, a spry filmmaker, has moxie. Tortorici takes risks. Rated: 3/4 Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “Diciannove” seems particularly in tune with not only this moment in Leonardo’s life, but in all of ours when seeking refuge in the classics can also appear to be a way to obstruct progress.
