The Double Hour, Italian film in Tampa

Playing now through June 23rd (Thurs)
THE DOUBLE HOUR

A Romance. A Robbery. A Mystery.

“It's a wild tale that's so full of surprises, reversals and double-jointed plot twists that you wouldn't think there'd be room for anything else. But there is.” - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"The more you try to solve the narrative puzzle, the more you may want to watch it again - or at least argue about what's real." - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"I've seen the fabulously acted Italian thriller The Double Hour twice now, and for all its intricate manipulations, it stays with me for a very simple reason: The love story at its bittersweet heart is played for keeps." - Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune

Guido (Filippo Timi), a former cop, is a luckless veteran of the speed-dating scene in Turin. But, much to his surprise, he meets Slovenian immigrant Sonia (Ksenia Rappoport), a chambermaid at a high-end hotel. The two hit it off, and a passionate romance develops. After they leave the city for a romantic getaway in the country, things suddenly take a dark turn. As Sonia's murky past resurfaces, her reality starts to crumble. Everything in her life begins to change - - questions arise and answers only arrive through a continuous twist and turn of events keeping viewers on edge until the film's final moments.
