Not just a chic thriller, but an engrossing study of Italian society and a downward-spiralling economy. Based on Stephen Amidon’s novel set in moneyed Connecticut, Human Capital smoothly relocates to Italy’s wealthy north in an engrossing if anxiety-provoking tale about two families whose destinies are tied together by a road accident.
A top-flight cast gives the character-driven drama depth and conviction. Paolo Virzi’s refined three-chapter tale reveals a cultural and systemic disparity in the value of human life.
