Trailer

Los Angeles Premiere! THE DOUBLE HOUR (LA DOPPIA ORA), 2010, Samuel Goldwyn, SND, 95 min. Dir. Guiseppe Capotondi. Sonia (Ksenia Rappoport), a waitress from Ljubjlana, and Guido (Filippo Timi), an ex-policeman and villa security guard, meet on a speed date. When Guido dies unexpectedly during a break-in at the villa, Sonia finds herself heartbroken and coping with a senseless death – a death that many believe she’s responsible for. “The effective debut feature of Italo musicvid helmer Giuseppe Capotondi. Pic further showcases the acting chops and engaging screen presence of Ksenia Rappoport (THE UNKNOWN WOMAN). Not so much a genre movie as a movie that switches between genres - and comes out on top.” –Variety [35 mm]
