A woman seeks a liberated life in 1960s Rome. Criterion Collection Year 1965 Video Release 2016-02-23 Studio Criterion Collection Genre Drama MPAA Rating Not Rated Color Color Runtime 115 Animated Live-Action Full Synopsis Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana Divorce Italian Style's Stefania Sandrelli 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 cowrote 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. Director Antonio Pietrangeli Cast Antonio Pietrangeli; Stefania Sandrelli; Mario Adorf; Jean-Claude Brialy; Joachim Fuchsberger; Nino Manfredi; Enrico Maria Salerno; Ugo Tognazzi
