Human Capital

Il capitale umano

On a wet winter night in Italy's affluent north, a waiter is run off the road by an SUV and killed, entwining the fates of two families of very different social standing. Based on the novel by Stephen Amidon, and set against the aftermath of the European economic crash, HUMAN CAPITAL is an engrossing thriller that paints a bleak and tragic portrait of current Italian society.

Winner of Best Actress in a Narrative Feature and nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival. Winner of Best Film and nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes, Italy.

"Paolo Virzi's electrifying film is a murder mystery. The main question is, Who killed Italian society?" - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
