Two Women (De Sica, 1960): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.40pm

This 4K screening (also being shown on August 13th) includes an introduction by season curator Adrian Wootton. It is part of the Sophia Loren season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.

Chicago Reader review:
Director Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis) hits his stride in this powerful 1961 story of a mother (Sophia Loren) and her daughter who meet with tragedy and violence in the waning days of World War II. Loren won a deserved Oscar for her performance as the life force encased in a magnificent body.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
