Marcello Mio is a 2024 comedy film written and directed by Christophe Honoré. In the film, actress Chiara Mastroianni confronts living in the shadow of her real-life father Marcello Mastroianni's legacy. She portrays a version of herself alongside her real-life mother, French actress Catherine Deneuve. Several other actors support the cast and play versions of themselves as well, including Fabrice Luchini, Nicole Garcia, Benjamin Biolay and Melvil Poupaud.

Production

Principal photography began on 21 August 2023 in Paris, and continued in Rome, then in Latina and Formia, the latter of which was a city dear to Marcello Mastroianni. Filming was scheduled to be completed after eight weeks, specifically on 13 October. The film uses French, Italian, and (for the scenes with Colin) English.

The soundtrack consists of songs by Benjamin Biolay ('La Ballade du mois de juin' and 'Comment est ta peine?'), Alex Beaupain ('Dì, Marcello', 'Perché ridi' and 'Toccata tromba'), and excerpts from songs and instrumental works by Luigi Tenco, Rameau, Étienne Daho, Christian Badzura, Puccini, Sibelius, Wagner, Gianni Marchetti, Rota, Fabio Concato and Andrew Bird.
