I Knew Her Well (#801) USED
This prismatic portrait of the days and nights of a party girl in sixties Rome is a revelation. On the surface,Ā I Knew Her Well,Ā directed by Antonio Pietrangeli, plays like an inversion ofĀ La dolce vitaĀ with aĀ woman at its center, following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana (Divorce Italian Style s Stefania Sandrelli) as she dallies with a wide variety of men, attends parties, goes to modeling gigs, and circulates among the rich and famous. Despite its often light tone, though, the film is a stealth portrait of a suffocating culture that regularly dehumanizes people, especially women. A seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure while keeping us at an emotional remove,Ā I Knew Her WellĀ is one of the most overlooked films of the sixties, by turns hilarious, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.
