Diva Futura. The film Diva Futura, directed by Giulia Louise Steigerwalt, produced by Groenlandia, and inspired by the book Non dite alla mamma che faccio la segretaria by Debora Attanasio, will be released in theaters on February 6, 2025. Denise Capezza plays Moana Pozzi.
“Moana was elusive to everyone… to the public, to the very few who truly knew her… perhaps even to herself. She was welcoming, inviting… yet distant, as if she always carried a deep sense of modesty when it came to revealing her vulnerability, as if she had a secret she never shared with anyone… a secret concealed behind sensuality, nudity, and the ostentation of her body. But behind that body, there was so much more. Unraveling her emotions, embodying her, deciphering her, evoking her… it was a long, intense journey—at times, almost like labor (without an epidural!).
Diva Futura is finally in theaters, and I am both happy and proud. A film that tells the story of Schicchi and his Divas—Ilona Staller, Moana Pozzi, Eva Henger—like no one expects! But it also portrays an era steeped in hypocrisy and moralism, from which we have never truly freed ourselves. It speaks of the desire and the need to break free from conventions—and the freedom to do so without asking for permission”.
