For those familiar with Paolo Sorrentino, you know his films are often homages to Fellini with older men questioning the meaning of beauty and reflecting on their own success. The Consequences of Love, his breakthrough film, still has some of his central auteurist themes, but through the lens of an alt-mafia film with twists and turns and flashy cinematography like a Wong Kar-Wai film. The most recent film in our series, come and see one of Sorrentino’s early efforts that kickstarted his reputation in Italian Cinema that still remains strong among the international awards stage today.
