Mare Nero a.k.a. Dark Sea by Roberta Torre Rating $$

I recently saw this Italian thriller as part of the "Open Roads: New Italian Cinema" series at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. I missed the first 15 minutes or so, but I'm not sure that I'd understand the film any more if I'd seen them. The film takes place in Rome and concerns a detective who gets sucked into the underground world of the "red light" district while investigating a college students murder. The music is haunting, the cinematography dark and moody, and the acting well served. I'd encourage one to see it for the score alone, combined with the cinegatography and editing it makes for an interesting film despite not leaving without a complete understanding or resolution. MM$
