The biopic "The Prime of Life" tells the story of Giacomo Lepalde, a renowned Italian poet and philosopher. The role of Lepalde is played by Erio Gemano, the Cannes Best Actor and Italian actor. Lepalde was born in a small town in 1798 and is regarded as one of the greatest poets in Italy, second only to Dante in status. Although he was born into poverty, even his early works raised questions that were crucial to his time. They demonstrated the influence of Enlightenment and, in many ways, foreshadowed Nietzsche's nihilism. Lepard was a child prodigy who mastered many ancient and modern languages at an early age. He wrote "Poetry" at the age of 20, but died of illness at 38. Schopenhauer called Lepalde his "spiritual elder brother", and Italians regarded him as one of the greatest sages. His thoughts were highly praised as "surpassing every European writer from Goethe to Valery". However, despite numerous praises, this 19th-century poet and philosopher remains little known in the mainstream English-speaking world. The film received positive reviews in the media reviews. The Hollywood Reporter said: "As the film progresses, the story becomes increasingly captivating." It is particularly worth mentioning that the cinematography of the film is definitely of top-notch quality. The Guardian of the UK commented: "Although this is not the most radical film at this year's Venice, it is definitely worth people's attention."[Collapse]
