This week, we dug into the MovieNight archives to find a great bit of early film-making by Italian director, Paolo Sorrentino. Sorrentino has come to the attention of the American public in recent years with his two, critically acclaimed features, The Great Beauty, and Youth, yet there are many who believe these showy vehicles to be all style and no substance. I tend to agree, specially in the case of Youth, his most recent, star-studded endeavor. However… I watched is several times, and was highly entertained by it.

Anyway… getting to the point… The Consequences of Love had style and substance, in droves. Here’s hoping that Mr. Sorrentino can find a way back to making films like this. Per favore, Paolo.
