For fans of Italian film making, a quick question has been asked many times, Who Is The Unknown Woman Really? The question is in line with a 2006 film that has been getting more and more popularity as cinema fans are looking to build a visual library of movies seen. Foreign film fans will not be the only ones to quickly appreciate the film for its binding story and breath taking visuals, as any causal movie fan will enjoy the film as well.
Those unfamiliar with this film will have to remind themselves of the 1988 cult hit “Cinema Paradiso”, which took audiences world wide by storm. The director, Giuseppe Tornatore, once again blends classic film making with modernism, art, and so much more, but some critics and fans think it is too much. The film does seem to drag in the second and third transitional act, but picks up swiftly in the final acts.
Who Is The Unknown Woman Really? That is the question that many people want to know before jumping into this foreign film, but revealing the Hitchcock like twist would be disingenuous. The thrilling film really hinges carefully on that question, and while some might get lost in the landscape of visualization, savvy film viewers will keep that in mind, especially when the reveal comes forward in an effective and poignant sequence that really will get comparisons to thrillers of old.
