The Double Hour
La doppia ora
Directed by Giuseppe Capotondi
2009, Italian with English subtitles
Italy
95 minutes

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 is 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.
