Winner 2008 David di Donatello: Best film, best director, best first time director, best actor plus 6 more; Winner 2008 Italian Golden Globes 3 awards and Winner 2007 Venice Film festival 2 awards.

In this engrossing thriller that swept the 2008 David di Donatello Awards, an idyllic town in the Italian Dolomites is shocked by the murder of young and beautiful Anna; her body found naked at the edge of a lake with no signs of sexual assault or struggle. Inspector Giovanni Sanzio (Toni Servillo) is called in from the provincial capital to solve the crime, but the victim proves as mysterious as the crime itself.

Suspicion first falls on village simpleton Mario, then transfers to Anna's lay-about boyfriend, Roberto, and even her father, Davide, whose home movies of his daughter pay more attention to her body than would seem appropriate. Indeed, the more Inspector Sanzio and local cop Siboldi (Fausto Sciarappa) dig, the more questions arise.

Servillo, so terrific in ‘The Consequences of Love’, received a Best Actor award at the 2007 Venice Film Festival for his work in the film. He gets completely under the skin of the inspector, radiating depth while maintaining a hardened exterior. This must-see, multi award-winning film will keep you guessing until the end.  The beautiful Italian scenery is an additional bonus in a film that reveals the disturbing elements that lurk not so far beneath the surface of quiet provincial life.

Based on the novel "Don’t look back" by Karin Fossum.

“An engrossing thriller that keeps audiences guessing” Jay Weissberg, Variety
