Honey
A virtuoso masterpiece from a director who has instantly made herself one to watch.
Honey
Irene lives alone on the coastline outside Rome. To her father and her married lover, she’s a student. In reality, she often travels to Mexico where she can legally buy a powerful barbiturate. Working under the name of Miele ("Honey"), her clandestine job is to help terminally-ill people to die with dignity by giving them the drug. One day she supplies a new “client,” Grimaldi, with a fatal dose, only to find out he’s perfectly healthy but tired of life. Irene is determined not to be responsible for his suicide. From this point on, Irene and Grimaldi are unwillingly locked in an intense and moving relationship which will change Irene’s life forever.

FEATURED REVIEW
Zachary Wigon, Village Voice
With striking compositions and cuts that reveal a deep appreciation of cinema's possibilities, Valeria Golino's HONEY could be about anything at all and still demand and hold your attention; that the narrative is as moving as the film is aesthetically precise is an added delight.
