Ferzan Ozpetek’s ‘Diamonds’ Scores Slew of Global Sales While Becoming Italian Box Office Champ (EXCLUSIVE)
Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek's 'Diamonds' has scored slew of global sales while becoming Italy's local box office champ.
“Diamonds,” which is set both in the present day and in the 1970s, revolves around the life and love affairs of a group of warmhearted women who work in a large Rome cinema costume company run by two sisters “who are as different as they are close,” as the synopsis puts it. The film’s ensemble cast includes Luisa Ranieri, who played the emotionally troubled Aunt Patrizia in Paolo Sorrentino’s “The Hand of God”; Italian A-lister Jasmine Trinca(“La Storia”), who was on the Cannes jury in 2022; and Kasia Smutniak (“Domina”). “Diamonds” is the 15th feature from the popular helmer, who is known for commercially successful pics such as “Ignorant Fairies” and “Loose Cannons.” It has become Ozpetek’s biggest local hit and is now also scoring a slew of international sales.
