In Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza's Salvo, Italy's perpetual twilight reflects moral voids. Even someone as purely innocent as Rita (Sara Serraiocco), whose eyesight seems to be the price she pays for retaining her humanity, can't escape the literal and figurative encroachment of shadows. This young blind woman is one half of the quasi-love story that pumps Salvo's cold heart; the other is the eponymous hitman/bodyguard (Saleh Bakri) who kidnaps her after a job goes south and he kills her brother in retaliation for his involvement. Rita, consistently captured in radiant light, is a beacon of decency in a world of criminals, and Salvo comes to see her as a cure for his incessant loneliness, maybe even his propensity toward violence.
