The Consequences of Love (2004)
(Le conseguenze dell'amore)
Country: IT
Technical: col/scope 104m
Director: Paolo Sorrentino
Cast: Toni Servillo, Olivia Magnani, Adriano Giannini
Synopsis:
An investment broker who has lost money for the Mafia is obliged to live in a Swiss hotel and act as bag man twice a month between his Sicilian employers and their Swiss bank. He maintains an aloof lack of interest in life and those around him until a young barmaid breaks his composure.
Review:
Beautifully paced and acted, this fanciful and mysterious elaboration of a basic idea is as elegant in its moves as the cameraman is in his. At times the viewer is kept guessing by the delaying of information to us, but close followers of gangster films and Patrice Leconte will have a ball.
