Italy’s top box office hit in 2023, this taut, stylish crime thriller from writer-director Andrea Di Stefano stars the excellent Pierfrancesco Favino as a police lieutenant who is drawn into a web of crime and corruption on the eve of his retirement.
Franco Amore (Favino) has always been an honest policeman who in 35 years of honorable service has never shot anyone. The night before his retirement, Franco is called to investigate a perplexing roadside crime scene. What he does not know is that this will be the longest and most challenging night of his life and everything that matters to him will be in danger: his role as a state servant, his great love for his wife Viviana his relationship with his best friend and colleague, and even his own life.
The Last Night of Amore transforms the Lombardy capital with slick nighttime visuals, brilliantly building suspense throughout the increasingly frenetic night on the streets of Milan where daylight never seems to arrive.
