PASSIONE at 8:00

John Turturro's wild, colorful, sexy ode to the music and people of Naples. He describes PASSIONE as "a musical adventure that comes directly out of the people and the volcanic land they inhabit. Conjuring ancient stories and myths that still live -- of love, sex, jealousy, and social protest -- each song is a small screenplay, an emotional postcard." "John Turturro's galvanic tribute to the songs and singers of Naples.There is guile and nuance in these songs, but also a florid, wailing melodrama capable of turning skeptics into addicts The attention you give this movie will be gloriously repaid. It is a place Mr. Turturro clearly loves, and whose seductions he manages to capture with intelligence and enthusiasm." -- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
