Paolo Sorrentino's gripping psychological thriller probes the dark secret harboured by middle-aged Italian loner Titta Di Girolamo, who has lived for eight years in an anonymous Swiss hotel. Elegantly dressed, he impassively spends his days in the lobby or the hotel bar, observing the guests and staff with cool detachment. But his icy demeanour cracks when he begins to talk to the attractive barmaid Sofia, and the terrible truth about Titta's concealed world begins to unravel. Featuring masterfully restrained performances from Toni Servillo and Olivia Magnani, THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE is a tightly plotted, stylishly executed Mafia thriller that marks Sorrentino as an exciting and highly original new filmmaking talent.
