Synopsis

An aging, socially inept loan shark, Geremia is obsessed with money, using his funds to insert himself into people’s lives. When a family borrows from him for a wedding, Geremia becomes unhealthily interested in bride-to-be Rosalba. But he may have met his match in this sharp-tongued young woman.

MUBI's take

Taking on a formidable role of utmost grotesquerie and greed, veteran actor Giacomo Rizzo astounds at the rotten center of Paolo Sorrentino’s third feature film. Beauty transfixes the beast in this grizzly character study, composed of curious vignettes and dripping in extravagant cinematic style.
