MARCELLO MIO
This is the story of a woman named Chiara. She is an actress, the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. During a summer that sees her reality fall into disarray, Chiara decides to live as her father. She dresses like him. She speaks like him. She breathes like him. Chiara’s impersonation is so convincing that people around her begin to believe. They call her “Marcello.”

“Honoré isn’t interested in spectacle as much as he is sweetness… informed throughout by thoughtful writing and playful performances.”
– Chase Hutchinson, The Wrap
“References to the Mastroianni-Deneuve family legend, and to European film history, abound in a film that may well tickle cinephiles, and both Chiara and Deneuve undeniably sparkle in mischievous performances”
– Jonathan Romney, ScreenDaily
