Enrico Borello

Enrico Borello—man, talk about a name that’s started popping up everywhere in Italian cinema lately. You know, the kind of guy who doesn’t just stick to one type of project. People first caught wind of him with Settembre back in 2022, which, honestly, was like a little slice of real life captured on film. Borello’s got this way of showing regular moments—awkward silences between friends, the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t come with dramatic music cues—he just gets it. The movie didn’t try to blow your mind, just let you sit there and feel all the little cracks and joys that come with growing up (or realizing you’re not quite as grown as you thought). Then Familia dropped in 2024 and flipped the script a bit. Borello leaned into the messiness of, well, family. Not the Instagram version, but the gritty, sometimes hilarious chaos that happens when people who are basically strangers try to love each other just because they share blood. The dialogue? Super sharp. Nobody’s holding back, and the whole thing feels like you’re eavesdropping on someone else’s Thanksgiving dinner—awkward, loud, weirdly touching. Now, everyone’s buzzing about La città proibita, set for 2025. People are calling it his boldest move yet. Word is, Borello’s diving into themes of forbidden desire, power plays, and the kind of secrets that make you squirm a little in your seat. If his past work is any clue, expect something raw, honest, and probably not what you’re expecting. Borello’s not trying to be anyone’s favorite, he’s just telling the stories nobody else has the guts to touch.
