Synopsis
Eternal Visionary (Eterno visionario, 2024) is Michele Placido's Italian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Fabrizio Bentivoglio stars as Luigi Pirandello, one of the towering Italian writers of the twentieth century.
A train carries the playwright toward Stockholm in the winter of 1934, the Nobel waiting at the end of the line — and his whole life rising up behind him. Stage triumphs and flops, a wife's illness, tangled knots of love and guilt, the people who handed him his stories and wounded him deepest. Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and Placido himself, also behind the camera, play the figures who shaped him.
At its core it's a meditation on the price of art — what a writer takes from those closest to him when he turns their pain into theatre. Best suited to viewers who enjoy unhurried European biopics with a theatrical pulse. Stream Eternal Visionary (2024) online on iFILM.
