Leave your thoughts about Passione.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThere's a pleasant song at the beginning of "Passione." Then, another one that sounds almost exactly the same. Then, another and another and another. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineThis exuberant, music-filled, often sensual celebration of the people of Naples, their songs and survival mechanisms should delight those enamored of things Italian. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)There's a pleasant song at the beginning of "Passione." Then, another one that sounds almost exactly the same. Then, another and another and another. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorPart documentary, part musical, all fabulous. John Turturro's deep affection for Naples, Italy, and its music shines through every frame. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...something very unique and often mesmerizing |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceLike pasta, Turturro throws it on the wall and some of it sticks. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerWhat Turturro, who appears in the film as a combination tour guide and impresario, has come up with is closer to a fantasia than a traditional documentary. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAn exuberant product placement, if you will, for the city of Naples. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoPassione" succeeds at being as entertaining as its subject matter, replicating the "avalanche" of sound. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasThat's the charm of "Passione." Turturro is so head over heels in love with this city and this music he's willing to risk looking a little stupid. Ah, l'amore. |
