2021 has already been a success for Italy with the Euros and Eurovision, but some could say in 2020 Italy also brought it when the world was introduced to Italian star Michele Morrone, lead actor of the Netflix film 365 Days (or 365 dni in Poland), which was one of the biggest trending films of the year.
Morrone, with his smouldering looks, played mafia boss Massimo Torricelli, where he stole the hearts of millions of women over the world, who fantasised about living in Sicily while making him homemade Limoncello.
However, the film – which tells the tale of a woman kidnapped and imprisoned by a man who gives her a year to fall in love with him – was heavily criticised and accused of ‘glorifying rape and kidnap’.
Despite the controversy, 365 Days will return with a sequel (well, technically two, it is based on a trilogy of books after all) and according to author Blanka Lipińska, 365 Days 2 will be raunchier than the previous film, all thanks to her.
Lipińska, who is from Pulawy, Poland, is also a producer of the film and tells Metro.co.uk: ‘I may not know about many things, but I know how to direct sex in the movies.
‘I was the director of the sex scenes in the first part and it was really hot. I’m a specialist in the emotions of my actors.’
She adds: ‘The second film will be even better than the first, there will be a lot more sex, we will see a different side to Massimo, and you will see the character of Nacho played by model Simone Susinna.’
When requested in regards to the criticism surrounding the movie, Lipińska dismisses the controversy: ‘This isn’t actually controversial, whenever you learn all three books and see all three films, you’ll change your opinion.
‘You can’t decide a three-book trilogy on one ebook. As an writer I wish to present how love can change a man.’
Despite the claims of glorified sexual violence, it’s unimaginable to disregard the recognition of the Netflix erotic collection which have spawned since 365 Days. There was the Mexican collection Dark Desire which soared in views and amassed 35 million viewers in 28 days, and not too long ago Sex/Life has been trending within the high 5 for weeks since its launch in June 2021.

365 Days relies on Blanka’s actual life. The feminine lead Laura Biel, performed by Anna-Maria Sieluka, reveals part of Lipińska’s life the place she was in a sexless relationship and wrote fiction to attempt to escape from her actuality.
‘I was in a relationship with a guy I loved, but he didn’t wish to have intercourse with me,’ she says. ‘So, after one year without sex, I was still with this guy, but I wrote 365 Days. I needed this for my mental health. It was cathartic.’
Blanka provides: ‘I can’t write about vanilla intercourse, my ebook is about when you will have sturdy want and fervour so I can solely write about any such intercourse.’
While many might argue there was little vanilla intercourse within the 50 Shades of Grey movies, which forged Jamie Dornan as billionaire Christian Grey (with there being The Red Room…) Lipińska wasn’t shocked by Dornan’s appeal and needed to verify she didn’t make the identical mistake in casting her personal protagonist.
She says: ‘Everybody was waiting to see what Christian Grey will look like. I was so sad because they chose Jamie Dornan. It wasn’t like in my creativeness, subsequently I made a decision I’ve to discover a good Massimo as a result of I didn’t need ladies to really feel like me after I noticed 50 Shades of Grey.’
Lipińska provides: ‘The first time I saw Michele Morrone, it was like thunder. At that minute I thought “yes, this is my Massimo!”’
Not simply Massimo, however each character within the movie relies on a real-life particular person.
‘The guy who is based on the character of Nacho lives on the Canary Islands in Tenerife,’ the writer explains. ‘He taught me how to surf and there is a real-life Massimo who lives in Sicily!’
Did she exit with him?
Lipińska says shyly: ‘I can’t inform you that. You must learn my books and watch the flicks!’
365 Days is accessible on Netflix, with the ebook trilogy accessible now.
