In this earnest moral drama, the final completed film from acclaimed director Antonio Pietrangeli (The Visit, Adua and Her Friends), Adriana (a superb Stefania Sandrelli, The Conformist, Divorce Italian Style) is a young woman from the Italian countryside who gets caught up in the temptations of life in Rome. While halfheartedly trying to break into show business, she has a series of light-hearted affairs but becomes depressed when the reality of her new existence sets in. A perfect piece of ’60s Italian cinema, with beautiful locations, beautiful people, and great Italian pop music. Presented in a new 4K digital restoration courtesy of the Criterion Collection and the Cineteca di Bologna, I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery that is finally finding the audience it’s always deserved.
