CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE
[Le Consequenze dell'Amore]

In this existential, nearly surreal thriller, Mafia accountant Toni Servillo has lived for the past eight years in a hotel room. He made a disastrous investment years ago, so his bosses stuck him with this dreary and lonely assignment laundering money in a nondescript Swiss town. He wiles away his days in quiet desperation at the hotel bar, speaking to no one. But then barmaid, Olivia Magnani, (granddaughter of Anna) arouses a long-forgotten passion in him. An unforgettable performance by stage actor Servillo; Adriano Giannini (son of Giancarlo) adds another familiar name to the cast. Winner of five Donatello Awards, including Best Film, Director, Actor, Screenplay and Cinematography, out of 10 nominations.

DIR/SCR Paolo Sorrentino; PROD Domenico Procacci, Nicola Giuliano, Francesca Cima and Angelo Curti. Italy, 2004, color, 104 min. In Italian with English subtitles.
