The Girl with the Pistol (Monicelli, 1968): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6.10pm
This screening also shows on August 29th and is part of the Monica Vitti season at BFI Southbank.
BFI introduction:
A young Sicilian woman flees her repressive family for London, finding
liberation amid a more permissive environment. Vitti effortlessly blends
humour and dramatics as Assunta, who attempts to track down and murder
the boyfriend who abandoned and dishonoured her. The film follows her as
she travels around the country, gradually discovering the joys of
women’s liberation and self-fulfilment.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
