Marcello Mio is a 2024 comedy film written and directed by Christophe Honoré. In the film, actress Chiara Mastroianni confronts living in the shadow of her real-life father Marcello Mastroianni's legacy. She portrays a version of herself alongside her real-life mother, French actress Catherine Deneuve. Several other actors support the cast and play versions of themselves as well, including Fabrice Luchini, Nicole Garcia, Benjamin Biolay, Melvil Poupaud and Hugh Skinner.[3]

The film had its world premiere in the main competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2024, being theatrically released in France on the same day by Ad Vitam Distribution.

Plot

[edit]

Chiara is an actress and the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. One summer, she tells herself that she should rather live her father's life. She now dresses like him, speaks like him, breathes like him and she delivers it with such command that others around her end up believing it and begin calling her "Marcello".[1]
