Italian Film Festival 2004: Disc 6 (The Consequence of Love / Certain Children)

synopsis


The Consequence Of Love:

An ice-cool existential thriller that premiered in Official Competition at the recent 2004 Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim. Titta, an aloof former stockbroker, lives anonymously in an anonymous hotel. His days are spent in the hotel lobby, playing cards, observing the bartender, and taking delivery of suitcases containing millions of dollars. In a style reminiscent of Memento and The Usual Suspects, the clues and secrets to Titta's isolated existence slowly reveal themselves. The enthralling conclusion of this mesmerizing tale will leave you breathless - the superb direction, fascinating performances and precise production design marking this film as a genuine festival highlight.

Certain Children:
Eleven-year-old Neapolitan orphan Rosario (impressive newcomer Gianluca Di Gennaro) lives in the suburbs with his bedridden grandmother. He and his two pals drink, smoke, steal and generally imitate the worst of the adult world around them. The posse's regular hangout, the pool hall Las Vegas, is also the stomping ground of the local underworld, and this contact leads to devastating consequences for Rosario. In Certain Children, directors Andrea & Antonio Frazzi trace Rosario's tragic trajectory, from petty crime to his becoming a junior hit man for the mob (a "baby killer"). This powerful, nuanced film recently won top prize at the Karlovy International Film Festival and its impact has been compared to the award-winning City Of God.
