A darkly comic portrait of the heart’s irrationality, Franco Giraldi’s seventh feature stars Monica Vitti as Isolina, a woman who falls in love with a pimp (Ugo Tognazzi) who has been convicted of murdering the girlfriend whose body he profited from—following eye-witness testimony from Isolina, who finds herself second-guessing what she thought she saw at the scene of the crime. A beguiling exploration of memory, passion, and relations between the sexes, La supertestimone melds the courtroom drama with a blackly satirical depiction of prison life to yield a wholly original cinematic experience. 4K digital restoration by Cinecittà.
