When: Friday, June 8th | 21:30

Awarded with an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, it is one of the 90s top (and most discussed) films and tells the story of an IRA repentant perpetrator who finds unexpected redemption and unusual love in the face of one of his victim's lover. However, nothing is that simple in the cunning film web weaved by the great Irish director («Mona Lisa», «The End of the Affair») who combines genres such as political thriller, modern noir and romantic drama into a complex and full of twists contemplation on the mysterious nature of human sexuality and morality and the peculiar games of fate and life.
