Jacopo Alfano
Jacopo Alfano’s filmography isn’t just a list of titles—it’s basically a wild ride through genres, moods, and a bit of cinematic chaos. Let’s talk The Gorge (2025) first. This one drags you into a world where survival isn’t just a theme, it’s a punch in the gut. You’re tossed into this breathtaking-yet-brutal landscape where characters aren’t just battling the elements—they’re wrestling with their own messy baggage. Tension’s everywhere. The scenery almost feels like a character itself, all brooding and unforgiving, setting the tone for every twist.
Then there’s Napoleon (2023). Forget dusty history class. This Napoleon is all swagger and ambition, but not in that cliché, “hero rides in on a horse” way. It’s more raw, sometimes almost uncomfortable in how human it makes the legend. Power plays, betrayals, and yeah, some killer costumes—it’s all there. But Alfano doesn’t let you forget the flaws. There’s a pulse under the spectacle, a reminder that even icons can be a hot mess.
And you can’t skip Queer (2024), which is like a cinematic mic drop. It’s bold, a little bit risky, definitely not for the faint of heart. Alfano’s not afraid to dig deep and stir things up. The film smashes stereotypes left and right, showing love, pain, and identity in ways that feel true and unfiltered. You walk away rethinking what you thought you knew about people, relationships, and maybe yourself. That’s the Alfano effect—never boring, always a little dangerous.
