One of the most watched films in Italy in recent years is Il giovane favoloso (The fabulous young man), the biography of the writer Giacomo Leopardi directed by Mario Martone, which already exceeds half a million viewers and the three million euros raised in all the rooms where it has been screened.
These figures, as they have assured since Italy, are more typical of blockbusters, which allows this film to position itself not only ahead of the rest of homeland films but also of the rest of the large international productions such as Guardians of the Galaxy.
Things have been going very well since it was released, during its first week it raised 1,10 million euros, but the second week not only equaled that figure but surpassed it, with 1,18 million euros.
In addition, the critics have behaved very well with her as well as the good reception she has had with the public, which allows that this third week that is on the billboard can continue at the top and have many more weeks on the bill. We may not see it in our commercial circuit, but surely it will not take long to see it in independent cinemas, because the good things always attract a lot of attention, although in Spain we are not very familiar with Giacomo Leopardi.
