THE ICONIC SETTING OF LA GRADIVA FOLLOWS FRENCH TEENS ON A TRIP TO NAPLES AND POMPEII When I went to Pompeii, I felt the poetic potency of this place, which maintains a very concrete relation with death – something that obviously and paradoxically produces a powerful sense of vitality. It's not only just Pompeii; it’s Southern Italy as a whole. Naples is a very difficult city to film because it is dense and complex; it’s a city of layers, where all eras can be seen. I felt dizzy at the idea of having to grasp and understand it. Interview with Marine Atlan, La Gradiva director | Semaine de la Critique - Cannes
