10. Somewhere Beyond Love (1974) – Drama
Cinematography by Luigi Kuveiller. “Desire” list: From the great filmmaker who was Comencini, a movie that takes advantage of Gemma’s perfect harsh features. Two factory workers living in Northern Italy form a romantic connection. The woman, torn between the freedoms of the North and her traditional Sicilian values, slowly allows herself to love. A working-class drama. Two lovers try to bridge the cultural gap between them (he is from the North, atheist, Anarchist/Communist, she is from Sicily, Catholic and very traditionalist. But it is something else that is the real menace.
Comencini and Kuveiller photography their ugly and lethal environment as it was the most beautiful ever: it is their world, and they make it romantic. Interesting glimpses on the vanished Communist subculture which gave their dignity to the working class then.
9. Alfredo, Alfredo (1972) – Comedy/Romance
As an Italian bank clerk who’s pursued, married, and mangled by a beautiful hysteric, (Stefania Sandrelli), Mr. Hoffman plays the kind of character who can’t even kick a stone in the road without injuring himself. Of course, his marriage is martyrdom, and divorce is as difficult as a Presidential impeachment. The main problem with this picture is that Pietro Germi, the director, has made it (brilliantly) twice before. His “Divorce—Italian Style” and “Seduced and Abandoned” superbly satirized the cruelty of the Italian marital laws, before divorce became legal in that country. “Alfredo” is a rather diluted version of its predecessors: clearly, Mr. Germi has gone over the same material too often. The other problem is that Dustin Hoffman isn’t Italian.

5. I Knew Her Well (1965) – Drama
following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of Italy in the sixties and a biting critique of its sexual politics and the culture of celebrity. Over a series of intimate episodes, just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung Italian master Antonio Pietrangeli, working from a script he co-wrote with Ettore Scola, composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.
