Showing Fri 21 Mar to Thu 27 Mar
An intelligent, distinctive spin on the gangster thriller, Salvo begins explosively, albeit traditionally, when a Mafia hitman (the eponymous ‘hero’ Salvo himself) is ambushed and decides to seek murderous revenge on the Sicilian boss who has ordered his assassination. In the process of executing his enemy, Salvo is confronted by Rita, a young, apparently blind, woman whom he cannot face killing so instead takes hostage. From then on, Salvo’s story becomes increasingly more complex and emotionally rich.
