(VEE) LIMA TO HOST SCREENING OF GIUSEPPE TORNATORE'S FILM

(VELINO) Roma, 27 Mar - The Italian Cultural Institute in Lima will host the screening of Giuseppe Tornatore's film "La sconosciuta" [The Unknown Woman], with Kseniya Rappoport, Michele Placido, Claudia Gerini. The film was awarded a David di Donatello prize in 2007 for the best film director. Giuseppe Tornatore created a film inspired by real incidents regarding the prostitution racketeering of women coming from eastern Europe. The story is straightforward with no emphatic expressions, and develops by intersecting several temporal planes. It sheds light on sexual abuse not so much as a social issue, but as the backdrop of a cruel psychological thriller keeping the audience's attention alert until the end. The camera, in fact, focuses on a female character which tries to assert her femininity and claim a portion of her own life, without pointing on preposterous virtuoso attitudes, definitely rewarding its audience. This film was also awarded the Nastro d'Argento prize in 2007. vel
