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 of the hotel bar, observing the guests and staff with cool detachment. But his icy demeanour cracks when he begins to talk to 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 thriller that marked Sorrentino's international breakthrough.

Bande annonce
A man living a reclusive lifestyle in a Swiss hotel finds his world begins to open when he strikes up a relationship with a young barmaid.-
The Consequences Of Love is Paolo Sorrentino's second film and already he's showing a skill and subtlety that many directors fail to achieve in a lifetime. It's a simple story, told directly, but within it are all kinds of moral and emotional complexities that he explores with great skill and subtlety.
Film 4 -
Possibly the most sedate crime movie ever made, this is a stylish exercise in cinematic precision that's made all the more compelling by a drizzle of details.
Patrick Peters, Empire Magazine -
This is a movie composed in a high arthouse manner, certainly, but what a treat it offers those who want to savour its highly singular style: a total immersion in Sorrentino's sensuous, scary sound and vision.
