Storyline

Ciro's body is slowly sinking in the Gulf of Naples. As he plunges into darkness, memories emerge. It's 1980, the earth is shaking, and buildings are falling.

The aimless child of no one becomes Ciro Di Marzio, the Immortal.

User Reviews

Wow what a movie - che film!!!

What a fantastic movie I've just seen at the cinema. Just out, this movie is so great and full of actions. The story doesn't let you to breathe and the 2 hours fly away as were 5 minutes. Finally another great great Italian movie.

Do not mess with Italians. The movie is well done, actors act very well, the plot is full of flash backs and the final wow is so great.

Che film ragazzi. Appena visto al cinema nella matiné dell'uscita. Il film è pazzesco e bellissimo, ti tiene col fiato sospeso per 2 ore che passano come se fossero 5 minuti. Fatto bene, ottime musiche, attori davvero capaci, il cinema italiano si riprende la scena centrale. Il finale è pazzesco.

Ottimi attori. Colpi di scena e storia ben scritta.

Meglio non fare casino con gli Italiani.
