A fascinating, genre-inflected tale of revenge inspired by Sicilian traditions, Monicelli’s drama stars Monica Vitti as Assunta, a young woman who falls for Vincenzo (Carlo Giuffrè), only for Vincenzo to unsuccessfully attempt to kidnap and forcibly marry Assunta’s sister. Local customs dictate that Assunta and her sisters cannot marry until the family has taken revenge against Vincenzo and restored their honor. When Vincenzo flees to the U.K., Assunta sets out after him, setting an enthralling cat-and-mouse game into motion across Edinburgh, Sheffield, and Bath. New 4K digital restoration by Cinecittà.
