Black Sun (2007)

In the heart of Catania, under the shadow of the Black Sun, unfolds a tale of love, loss and revenge, inspired by the drama penned by Rocco Familiari. Agata and Manfredi, a young couple rich in love and life, epitomize romantic bliss. Their world, a radiant constellation of dreams and passions, stands in stark contrast to the dark abyss of despair where Salvo, a drug addict, finds himself. One fateful morning, Salvo's tortured existence spirals out of control, leading him to pull the trigger on a sleeping Manfredi, bathing the couple's sun-kissed terrace in a tragic red hue. This cruel twist of fate leaves Agata shattered, her faith in justice shattered by the system's notorious leniency and inaction. Rising from the ashes of her grief, she steels herself for a quest of vengeance. Agata embarks on a meticulous and dangerous game of seduction, ensnaring Salvo in her web as she seeks to exact a confession. Valeria Golino delivers a powerful performance as Agata, embodying the potent mix of hope and determination of a woman steering her way towards a tragic end. In its rich tapestry of symbolism and philosophical undertones, Zanussi's "Black Sun" portrays a universal tale of love and retribution. It is a poignant reflection of the human spirit's unyielding pursuit of justice, even in the face of unbearable loss. The film beautifully juxtaposes the idealistic vows of "forever" against the grim reality of life's impermanence, making it a singular exploration of the human condition.

Black Sun is a drama movie featuring Valeria Golino.
