Marcello Mio is an upcoming 2024 French-Italian 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, Benjamin Biolay, Nicole Garcia and Melvil Poupaud.[2]
The film is set to have 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.
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]
Principal photography began on 21 August 2023 in Paris, and continued in Rome,[3] then in Latina and Formia, the latter of which was a city dear to Marcello Mastroianni.[4] Filming was scheduled to be completed after eight weeks, specifically on 13 October.[5]
Marcello Mio was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it will have its world premiere on 21 May 2024.[6] Ad Vitam Distribution is scheduled to theatrically release the film in France on the same day.[1]
