<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Let’s face it: last week was a warm-up.<\/p>\n
MovieNight returned definitively this week with this complex romantic thriller from director Paolo Sorrentino. Many guests were left scratching their heads and wondering what had just happened, but we predict a slowly developing subconscious appreciation. Or not, perhaps… I remember being left with the feeling that I’d missed the point after first watching this highly-acclaimed movie some three years ago. Still, something drew me back to it for a second viewing last week. It was then that almost everything fell into place.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps the Time Out review<\/a> that we used for the MovieNight invitation should have been made mandatory pre-movie reading, since it laid a good foundation for understanding. Seeing it for a third time last night only enhanced my opinion that this movie is a beautifully structured work. Narration, flashback and deftly-inserted little clues work in combination to tell us the story of Titta di Girolamo. Maybe we should show it again next week?<\/p>\n Don’t worry… that’s not going to happen (the next one just can’t wait)!<\/p>\n For the moment, the DVD of Consequences<\/em> remains unreleased in the US. If you are interested in seeing it again, you can get it from Amazon.co.uk<\/a> (you’ll need a region-free PAL-capable DVD player), or download it, or sweet-talk us into lending you our copy. Then again… maybe one shouldn’t have to watch a movie more than once?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s face it: last week was a warm-up.
