Synopsis
Marcello Mio (2024) is a French-Italian tragicomedy from Christophe Honoré, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Chiara Mastroianni plays a version of herself — the daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni.
Worn down by auditions where directors keep chasing her late father's shadow, Chiara makes a strange choice: she starts living as Marcello. She wears his suit, asks to be called by his name, insists on being treated as an actor rather than an actress. Friends and family take it for a passing joke. The longer it lasts, the harder it gets to tell devotion from delusion.
Honoré assembles an almost-family cast: Deneuve plays the mother, with Fabrice Luchini, Benjamin Biolay, Melvil Poupaud and Stefania Sandrelli around her. The film premiered in competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. It's a tender, melancholy look at living under a legendary name and the quiet work of simply being yourself.
