"I knew that each year there are sharpshooters lying in wait. Those who come here in order to shoot down a certain type of cinema, especially Italian. But they are a minority, so let them talk nonsense for what interests me is that the film please the public. And I’m convinced that it will be well received because it tackles a subject that everyone can relate to."

Thus spoke director Roberto Faenza, whose I giorni dell’abbandono / Days of Abandonment was booed at a screening for critics during this year’s Venice Film Festival. Audiences, however, responded favorably to this drama based on a bestseller by Elena Ferrante, and starring four-time David di Donatello winner Margherita Buy as a wife abandoned by her husband (Luca Zingaretti) for a much younger woman. At the end of its public screening, I giorni dell’abbandono was awarded with a five-minute ovation.
