To Love A Narcissist

Trust is weaponised in To Love A Narcissist: Contro Vento Films‘ first dramatic feature film since Transference went viral (over 30M views on YouTube). Charlotte and Roberto are in love. One of them is a covert narcissist. ‘To Love A Narcissist’ is a resonant story for our times that blurs the line between love and deceit and will leave you questioning if authenticity exists.

The film stars Lyndsey Marshal alongside Raffaello Degruttola (who also directs), Stephen Campbell Moore, Sule Rimi and Andrea Lowe. Ted Field and Sadie Frost are executive producers. Contro Vento’s Sadie Kaye and Bill Bossert are among the producers.

Contro Vento brings complex, compelling characters and a much maligned and misunderstood mental health condition (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) to life in ways that maximise suspense but steer clear of sensationalism. We have been collaborating with mental health professionals and coach Sara Davison to tell this story the most honest and impactful way we can.

After world premiering on the closing night of SRFF 2025 at Cinema Village in New York, To Love A Narcissist received its Italian premiere at the Ariano International Film Festival 1 Aug 2025. Director Raff was awarded the Hirpus d’Oro award for To Love A Narcissist and his contribution to Italian and international film. In Nov 2025 the film won ‘Best Film’ in the Feature competition in Seoul.

The film was released by US distributers Freestyle in North America 19 May 2026. It will be released worldwide three months later. View the ‘intriguing’ new trailer on ComingSoon.Net and press release on EIN Presswire.
