I Knew Her Well

Unfolding in a series of episodic snapshots, the film documents the life of Adriana, a young woman who moves to Rome in the early 1960s to pursue a career as a model and actress. A tragicomic portrait of one woman’s struggle to find her way in a society she longs to be a part of, I Knew Her Well offers both a critique of Italian celebrity culture and an impressively progressive examination of femininity.
