Date:

The Unknown

#58. The Unknown Woman (La Sconosciuta)

Director/Writer:
Giuseppe Tornatore
Distributor: Outsider Pictures

The Gist: The “unknown woman” is Irena. She had come to
Italy many years before from the Ukraine, and today lives amidst ghosts
of the past and a search for the present: two planes of time that
interweave, superimpose, and make up an intriguing puzzle, a taut
high-tension narrative. Who is Irena truly?

Fact: This won 5 David di Donatello awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Music and Best Cinematography.

See It: This was part of the final 9 shortlist for the Oscars and is regarded as a return to force for filmmaker mostly commonly known for Cinema Paradiso.

Release Date/Status?: Outsider is giving this a limited March 28th release.
