The Consequences of Love will not compete for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. The film, directed by Paolo Sorrentino and produced by Domenico Procacci (Fandango), was released on September 24, 2004, seven days after the regulation cut-off date, and therefore cannot be the Italian candidate for the Academy Awards.
