See the films the platforms disagree about most →This is a biographical drama about the life of Giacomo Leopardi, one of Italy's greatest 19th-century poets and philosophers. It portrays his intellectual brilliance and profound poetic sensitivity, which flourished despite a life constrained by a debilitating physical condition and the oppressive isolation of his aristocratic family's home in the small town of Recanati.
