Now I don't watch too many Italian movies, especially not on a tuesday evening in a commercial theater. And that's obviously a giant shame, because sometimes there's a foreign flick that stands out and is definitely worth your free time.
La doppia ora (The double hour) contains the story of Sonia, a lonely woman looking for love in a devious speeddating bar. She actually does meet the interesting but remote Guido and the two strangers become two lovebirds. When Guido takes her up to his house in the forest to show her his work as a security agent, the house he's watching gets mugged. Both he and Sofia get shot and from then on strange things start to happen. In Sofia's surroundings people are committing suidice by the dozen and she starts to lose her mind. Guido, the only she trusts, is dead, or isn't he? La doppia ora is a smart, psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat for 95 minutes. The camera angles in the scenes are just a little bit different than normal and the overall sounds are well applied. The acting is good and very natural. This all together makes La doppia ora a terrific foreign flick. I'm excited to see more of award winning director Giuseppe Capotondi. Italy scores!
