TORONTO – Paolo Genovese is turning heads with his latest film Madly – distributed by Rai Cinema International – which is currently being test screened at the European Film Market in Germany. Genovese’s writing/directing talents first garnered international acclaim via his record-breaking dramedy film Perfect Strangers (2016), in which guests at a dinner party agree to share all incoming texts and calls aloud. A caution to first time viewers: don’t watch it with your significant other unless you’re prepared to turn over your phone.

The Louisiana-born actor made his debut in the Eminem Biopic 8 Mile (2002), and eventually earned global recognition playing Falcon in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014). For Italians [and the rest of the world] the crossover promotion makes perfect sense since football icons enjoy as much fame globally as celebrities do in Hollywood.
