Movie Reviews of Two Women

Movie Review: The young Sophia Loren
Summary: 5 Stars

Saw this film when I first went to live in Rome about 40 years ago. Intensely moving. The memories of wartime Italy still lived on in the 60's and early 70's but are now long gone. It is nice to have it in a clean video edition. Very nostalgic. The horrors of war are still with us but, instead of the vast crowds of the dispossessed we now see on TV daily, we just have two women. Less is more.

Summary of Two Women

Studio: Kc Sales Release Date: 07/14/1998 Run time: 93 minutes
Sophia Loren won a much-deserved Academy Award for her performance in this 1960 classic by neo-realist filmmaker Vittorio de Sica. A last-minute substitute for Anna Magnani, Loren reached deep within her own memories of wartime experiences for her portrait of a widow struggling to survive in battle-scarred Italy along with a teenage daughter (Eleonora Brown). The film begins with both women sharing romantic feelings toward a young man (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a story line disrupted by the ravages of World War?II and the horrifying rape of both mother and daughter in a church by Allied Moroccan soldiers. The aftermath of this atrocity finds both characters dealing with even more, varying shades of grief, as the war seems to sap all that they had treasured and leaves them with only the bare bones of their emotional and physical survival. De?Sica's capacity to render tragedy both with the starkest of strokes and the most delicate of emotions has never been more impressive than in this film, and Loren's shatteringly honest portrayal is a watershed in movie history. --Tom Keogh
