Toni d’Angelo (Una notte, Italy 2007)

This affecting, personal drama revolves around about five friends and a philosophical cabbie who traverse the nighttime haunts of Naples after a friend’s funeral. After the service, refusing to call it a night, the former pals variously splinter and reform as they hit a restaurant, a nightclub, a late-night party, the beach and a bar. Conversational topics include life in the city, soccer, drinking and drugs and, of course, women and love. Romantic liaisons begin and personal confessions are made. Throughout, writer/director d’Angelo showcases the glories of Naples in the wee hours while revealing an ear finely tuned to the random discussions about life that take place between people who were once great friends.
