Diamanti: A sparkling homage to women, costumes, and solidarity
On Sunday, November 29, 2026, CinéMayence at the Institut Français in Mainz will screen Ferzan Özpetek's feature film Diamanti. The Italian film from 2024 combines great cinema, sumptuous costumes, and a moving story about female solidarity. The screening starts at 20:00, is in Italian original version with German subtitles, and lasts 135 minutes.
A workshop full of fabrics, dreams, and conflicts
The story focuses on the sisters Alberta and Gabriella, who run a renowned costume shop in 1970s Rome. For a major film production, an elaborate clothing project is created that demands craftsmanship, creativity, and perfect organizational talent. Amidst fabric rolls, designs, and a tight schedule, a dense event atmosphere unfolds on the cinema screen.
Strong women in focus
Özpetek tells of women who face professional and personal challenges. Domestic violence, financial worries, family conflicts, and personal losses are part of the storyline, just as mutual support and the courage to stand up for one's own freedom. The ensemble around Luisa Ranieri and Jasmine Trinca gives the characters emotional depth and a distinctive presence.
Cinematic art with a sense of costume and great emotions
Diamanti is a lavish homage to the beauty of costumes and to the narrative power of classic filmmaking. The presentation combines nostalgic images with heartfelt drama and a pronounced sense of decor. The film received, among other awards, the Audience Award David dello Spettatore 2025, as well as awards for screenplay, directing, and leading actress at the Ciak d'Oro.
