The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 11 times at 4 cinemas across 3 districts, from HK$110 to HK$150 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at PREMIERE ELEMENTS (Kowloon Station) in Tsim Sha Tsui, HK$110. Category I · 127 minutes.

What it is about

A farmer's son transforms into a fashion mogul, building a billion-dollar luxury empire while staying true to his humanistic values and commitment to ethical business practices and fine craftsmanship.

What to expect

Giuseppe Tornatore mixes documentary footage with dramatised scenes to trace how a farmer's son from Umbria built a global luxury brand without abandoning the small-town values he started with. The movie spends more time on Cucinelli's philosophy of work and community than on balance sheets, and the dramatised passages — cast with Italian actors — sit alongside archival material rather than overwhelming it. At 127 minutes it asks for patience, and the tone is unhurried and warm rather than investigative. It is playing at three cinemas across three Hong Kong districts, with four screenings in the next seven days. The original Italian dialogue carries English and Chinese subtitles. Tickets start at HKD 110. The movie is rated Category I.

What viewers said

When telling an individual’s life story, there are basically two ways to go about it: a documentary or a narrative biography (or docudrama). The former format is generally an objective (and, hence, credible) way of telling the story, while the latter is essentially a form of fact-based entertainment (an informative, if not always accurate, account).
