Foreign Film: Two Women
Two Women tells the story of a young widow and her 12-year-old daughter who flee war-ravaged Rome to the safety of her native village. But, as the allied forces push back the German occupation, they fall victim to a brutal act at the very hand of the country’s liberators. Two Women finally gets the release it deserves, pristinely restored and re-mastered in HD, doing justice to this masterpiece which won Sophia Loren an Oscar for Best Actress. (1960, in Italian with English subtitles, 101 minutes.)
