The lying life of adults: the Elena Ferrante effect arrives (also) on Netflix

We’ve known for two years that Netflix had a series inspired by The lying life of adults, the latest novel by Elena Ferrante published by Edizio E / O but, apart from knowing that Edoardo De Angelis would direct the project and that Valeria Golino would lend her face to Vittoria, we didn’t know the details. Fortunately, a few hours after the conclusion on Rai1 of the third season of The Brilliant Friend, it is the streaming service itself to tell us something more about the series, the filming of which is still in progress in Naples: The lying life of adults will consist of 6 episodes and will see the light on the platform by the end of 2022, making known a very rich cast that, at least on paper, promises very well.

Together with Valeria Golino, who will play the grumpy and terrible aunt of the protagonist, we will attend the debut of the young Giordana Marengo, who will lend her face to Giovanna, narrator of Ferrante’s novel, a teenager who, in the nineties, tries to find her place in the world in a city divided between the Naples above, which has given itself a fine mask, and that below, pretending to be excessive and trivial. They will also enrich the cast Alessandro Preziosi in the role of Andrea, Giovanna’s father, and Pina Turco – extraordinary actress and muse of De Angelis – in that of her mother Nella.
