TWO WOMEN AKA LA CIOCIARA (BLU-RAY)
TWO WOMEN finally gets the release it deserves, pristinely restored and re-mastered in HD, doing justice to this neo-realist masterpiece which won Sophia Loren an Oscar for ‘Best Actress’ – the first ever in a foreign-language film. Uniquely, this release is presented in two versions: one in Italian, and one in English, dubbed by Loren herself. TWO WOMEN tells the story of a young widow, Cesira (Sophia Loren) and her 12 year old daughter who flee war-ravaged Rome to Cesira’s native village in Ciociaria. Yet, as the allied forces push back the German occupation, the two women fall victim to a devastatingly brutal act at the very hand of the country’s liberators.
Review
`Loren deservedly won a Best Actress Oscar - the first to a non-American actress in a foreign-language film - for this Vittorio De Sica film... a remarkably moving, humane vision of individual struggle in an inhumane world. Loren is a marvel to behold.` --Variety
