Los Angeles Premiere! DARK LOVE (L’AMORE BUIO), 2010, Rai Trade, 109 min. Dir. Antonio Capuano. Four Neapolitan boys are sentenced to two years in prison after raping an adolescent girl. One of the boys, Ciro (Gabriele Agrio), spends his incarcerated nights reflecting on his crime, and eventually begins an epistolary relationship with the victim. This gritty and thought-provoking drama portrays a simultaneously beautiful and disturbing Naples, while raising questions about youth violence, remorse and forgiveness. “Experienced Neapolitan writer-helmer Antonio Capuano (PIANESE NUNZIO, FOURTEEN IN MAY) sensitively explores how the crime sends shockwaves through several years of the protagonists' lives.” –Variety [35 mm]
