Valeria Golino Returns to Cannes 2018 with Second Feature 'Euforia'

Valeria Golino premieres her second feature film 'Euforia' at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The film explores the relationship between two brothers—one a wealthy art and communications professional, the other a science professor—who are forced to reunite during a moment of profound grief. Golino draws on personal experiences, including conversations with her father, and real-life stories from a friend. The cast includes Riccardo Scamarcio, Valerio Mastandrea, Valentina Cervi, Isabella Ferrari, and Jasmine Trinca. Scamarcio's performance is highlighted as a standout, portraying a character torn between altruism and hedonism. Golino's directorial debut 'Miele' also dealt with death, a theme that recurs in 'Euforia'. The film is described as a universal human drama about fear and loss.
