This November
HBO brings to life on the small screen the first in four of the
'Neapolitan Novels' written under the pseudonym of
Italian novelist
Elena Ferrante.
The
Italian-language adaptation of
My Brilliant Friend tells the story of an elderly woman named
'Elena Greco' remembering the decades long friendship and conflicts with
'Raffaella "Lila" Cerullo', who has seemingly disappeared.
Her memories takes us back to when they first met in 1950 in a small neighbourhood on the outskirts of
Naples and their struggles with class, gender, family, crime and societal changes in
Italy through their teenage years.
These
HBO billboards hinting at the fun of childhood friendship for this coming-of-age tale were snapped along
Fairfax Avenue and the
Sunset Strip from October 29 to November 3, 2018.
With three other books in the series, you can tell this eight-part mini-series is just the start of years of melodrama from these two friends.
UPDATED: Here's also an
Emmy consideration billboard for the
HBO series photographed above
Melrose Avenue on May 24, 2019.
