A film director gathers his favorite actresses, those he worked with and those he loved. He wants to make a film about women but he doesn't reveal much: he observes them, takes cue, until his imaginary throw them into another era, in a past where the noise of the sewing machines fills a workplace handled and populated by women, where men have minor and marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: the one of costume. Between loneliness, passions, anxieties, heartbreaking absence and unbreakable bonds, reality and fiction permeate, as well as the lives of the actresses and those of the characters, the competition and the sisterhood, the visible and the invisible.

If you manage to turn off your brain a little and scoff at the director’s delusions of grandeur, Diamanti is a feast. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 2d
4/5
The film runs for 135 minutes, but the script is so breathless it never feels draggy and Özpetek gets excellent results with his stacked cast. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 1d
5/5
From its meta-framing device and referential sight gags to warmly involving personal connections, this is pure cinematic joy, nodding to specific classic movies while celebrating the fine art of costume design. Go to Full Review Sarah Shojaei Film Ireland Magazine Sep 29
It falls short, effectively functioning as an empty vessel, lacking sincerity and depth, and dedicating itself to its creator. Go to Full Review Leandro Ariel Porcelli Cinéfilo Serial Aug 6
7/10
A vintage popcorn melodrama filled with love for the invisible women who worked in the golden age of cinema. A film that manages to trascend it's own flaws to immerse the audience in it's directors flooding nostalgic memories. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Fausto Fernandez Fotogramas Jul 3

Özpetek once again weaves, literally, an ode to cloistered love, to that of which we dream of more than live. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cinephile B @runa.r May 23 It’s a good, well-structured film that’s enjoyable to watch. However, it touches on a theme that’s already been explored to some extent — that of a haute couture atelier, marked by a high level of pressure and exacting standards among the team working there.
