La Sconosciuta

I don't buy it

A good movie but too long. «La doppia ora» was a better experience.

Though it manages to build an impressive momentum, here and there, it's too diverse, and doesn't seem to tie all the knots it has spun.

Heartwarming, yet heartbreaking at the same time. Fabulous acting by Rapaport, very good directing and a beautiful score by Morricone.

Ksenia Rappoport deserves ten Oscars for her performance in this film. A performance which covers the entire range of human emotion and is complex, powerful and restrained. Comparable even to Hye-ja Kim in the Korean film "Mother". The film is directed very well and there are some expert camera angles from Tornatore. The psychological build-up in the first half is nothing short of brilliant. I have to say though, the ending sucked balls. All Law & Order / CSI / police procedural from Italian TV.

"The Unknown Woman begins the same way director Giuseppe Tornatore's last film, Malena, operated throughout: by ogling a fine female form." - Nick Schager

date viewed:9/4/10. loved the hitchcockian touches, the ennio morricone soundtrack and the unpredictable plot. favorite line " i keep secrets". highly recommended. .

Decent thriller, but not believable at all. Great performances from Irena and the girl.

Very colorful story. You kind of knew what happened in the past to the main character, but what was going to be and where story was leading her was unknown.

Awful and heart-breakingly beautiful at times. I don't ever want to watch it again. Too much for my poor heart.

Very suspenseful, great music.
