"Gradiva" review: coming-of-age in Naples, unglamorous but cool

Marine Atlan's "Gradiva" follows two school friends — Toni (Colas Quignard) and James (Mitia Capellier-Audat) — on a coming-of-age trip to Naples, marked by heartbreak and rites of passage. The film won the Grand Prix at the International Critics' Week in Cannes. The review highlights Naples as objectively unglamorous yet undeniably cool — a fitting backdrop for the story.
