12/13/2008 Occasionally shows up on TCM late at night, but what it's doing there is anyone's guess - it's moody and psychological and feels entirely Italian. Alternately painful to watch and totally compelling, but somehow a plot that should be a terrible cable movie totally works and feels not the least bit cliched. Worth watching if you see it in the listings. See more Read all reviews
