Sacred Silence takes place in the heart of Naples where commanding baroque buildings ...

Father Lorenzo Borrelli (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), a parish priest in Naples, is on a crusade against the local
Mafia. But he harbors his own secret -- he's romantically involved with a young male street musician (Emanuele
Gargiulo). It doesn't take long for the Camorra crime outfit to uncover the truth, and the mobsters prepare to
deliver Father Borrelli to the local authorities. But the priest's lover isn't sure he can turn on his only friend.

“Sacred Silence” is a moody, beautifully filmed exploration of the nature of right and wrong in the poor part of Naples.
It tells the story of Father Lorenzo, a handsome, well-respected priest played with quiet gravity by Fabrizio Bentivoglio,
who works tirelessly for his parish and takes in and cares for the poor wayward boys of the neighborhood. Naples is strangled
by the Camorra (the Italian Mafia), and Father Lorenzo’s crusade against them makes him a local hero until, that is, the mob
breaks the “sacred silence” of his relationship with a 13-year-old boy. The peripheral characters are introduced in individual
interviews as part of the police investigation of the priest. This well-crafted movie begs the question, “Do good deeds excuse
bad ones?” and makes me wonder if the director hasn’t intentionally set the exploitation of a minor against organized crime
in order to force the conclusion that the former isn’t so bad in comparison. The movie is all about the evidence and gives us
no verdict, which is perhaps the right way to go. It lets you be the judge. My judgment? Good movie; bad priest.

Sounds like a good movie.

When I read the title I thought it was a movie about the soccer player Zidanie.

Is the movie in Italian or English? I hope Italian. It'll be another Italian movie I could watch where I can hopefully pick up some Italian.

The movie is naturalmente in Italian. Would not be watching it or renting it if it were in English. It does have English subtitles though.

I would hope that it has English subtitles becaues other wise I wouldn't be able to follow it yet. Italians speak rather fast.

I'm just hoping that watching Italian movies will help me learn Italian more since watching Dutch programs helped me with Dutch. That reminds me, I have to check if you can watch Rai Uno through the internet.

Just got the movie in the mail.

"Italians speak rather fast." Italian speakers who don't understand English would say the samething about movies in English.

Speaking of speaking fast. What region or regions speak Italian the fastest? For example in Spanish the Cubans and
people who live on the coasts are know to be fast speakers.

There is free Italian TV available on the internet.

Yes, I know us English speaking people must speak fast for those who are trying to learn English. Especially me since I also seem to speak fast for those who do speak English.

The Spanish also speak fast in my eyes. I love the show I Love Lucy and when Ricky starts speaking Spanish I can only pick up about 2 words. However, if a Spanish person speaks to me knowing I don't know Spanish too well I'm able to pick up a lot more words. Now speaking to them is another story. lol

Does the free Italian TV on the internet include Rai Uno? I miss watching some of the shows on that channel.
