Domenico La Porta

reference Domenico La Porta’s filmography isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill Hollywood fare—no tired reboots or superhero capes here. The guy’s got his fingerprints on some seriously intriguing stuff, like The Price of Money: A Largo Winch Adventure (2024), which takes you on a wild ride through the shadowy world of global finance, double-crosses, and high-octane chases that feel straight out of a fever dream. You’ll find yourself rooting for the underdog even if you’re not totally sure who the underdog actually is. The pace? Relentless. The twists? Enough to make your head spin. And you better believe there’s plenty of style—think slick suits, neon-lit cityscapes, and an atmosphere so tense you could cut it with a butter knife. Then there’s Maldoror (2024), which really leans into the surreal and the poetic. This isn’t a film that holds your hand or spells everything out for you—expect to get lost, to question what’s real and what’s just a figment of some feverish imagination. It’s moody, it’s dark, and it’s absolutely not afraid to get weird with it. You’ll leave with more questions than answers, but honestly, that’s half the fun. And if you’re craving something a little more introspective, there’s Perhaps. It’s quieter, sure, but there’s a rawness and honesty to it that sneaks up on you. La Porta doesn’t shy away from the messiness of life, and he’s not afraid to show all the cracks. His movies might not be the loudest in the room, but they’re the ones you end up thinking about long after the credits roll.
