This summer's
second film takes us straight to
the heart of the '80s and '90s, telling a piece of our customs history that
redefined the concepts of morality, entertainment, and sexual freedom, revealing their blinding lights and innermost shadows.
Diva Futura is the visceral and documented account of
the incredible empire founded by Riccardo Schicchi. Through
the unprecedented and close-up gaze of his longtime secretary
Debora, the film depicts the birth of a mass phenomenon and
the complex lives of its hard queens, suspended between
the climb to success and
everyday fragilities.
Audiences and critics were fascinated by
the accurate reconstruction of a transitional era, where
desire became industry and
the utopia of free love clashed with the rules of the film market. A powerful narrative that avoids
easy judgment to restore
dignity and humanity to its protagonists.
Diva Futura stands out as a
valuable reflection on
the spectacularization of the body and the contradictions of entertainment society, demonstrating
the maturity of new Italian cinema in addressing
complex and provocative themes with courage and
artistic sensitivity.
We look forward to seeing you at
Bagni Etruria for this overwhelming second evening of
Cinema Damàre 2026.
