The Unknown Woman is an intricately constructed jigsaw puzzle that falls into place piece by piece to reveal a riveting tale of obsession, love and redemption. Masterfully balancing potent sensuality, harrowing suspense and heartfelt emotion, The Unknown Woman was named the Best Film of the Year by Italian critics and won five David di Donatello Awards (Italy’s version of the Oscar) for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Score (by master composer Ennio Morricone).

In addition to winning the David, she was nominated for a European Film Award for Best Actress. Hailed by Variety as “one of the most deeply nuanced film portraits of a woman who has lived through the hell of human slavery” the breakthrough performance has catapulted the actress, already well-known in her home country, onto the international scene. 2008 - 118m - Italy - In Italian with English SubtitlesView a trailer here.
