Synopsis
A Magnificent Haunting (Magnifica presenza, 2012) is an Italian fantasy comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Ferzan Özpetek. Pietro moves to Rome chasing an acting career and lands a surprisingly spacious apartment at a suspiciously low rent. It doesn't take long to understand the discount.
Eight ghosts from an early twentieth-century theatrical company have been living there for decades — not malevolently, just stubbornly. Elio Germano plays Pietro as someone who goes from terrified to oddly at home: the dead tenants turn out to be better company than most of the living people in his life. Margherita Buy is the neighbour who has had her suspicions about the place for years. Özpetek's touch is gentle and melancholy — the film is really about a young man adrift in a big city finding, in the most improbable way, a sense of belonging.
