La Sconisciuta now playing at the Rafael at 1118 Fourth Street, San Rafael.
The latest movie from Italian filmaker Giuseppe Tornatore (Acadamy Award for Best Foreign Language Film with Cinema Paradiso) La Sconosciuta (The Unknown Woman) is
a taut thriller starring Xenia Rappoport as a mysterious young Russian woman
who insinuates herself into the lives of an affluent Italian family, leading
the demons of her past to their doorstep. Taking a job as a domestic and bonding
with the couple’s fragile young daughter, the enigmatic Irena begins to expose
details of her traumatic and tortured history. Tornatore unfolds his story
as an intricately constructed jigsaw puzzle, weaving a stylish, suspenseful
and even shocking tale of cruelty, deceit and spiritual redemption.
Winner
of five David di Donatello Awards (Italy’s version of the Oscar), for Best
Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Score, The
Unknown Woman was also Italy’s submission this year for Academy Award consideration.

FESTA DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA
June 2nd in Italy
The Festa della Repubblica is celebrated on the second day of June, and it commemorates the institutional referendum of 1946 when (by universal suffrage) the Italian population was called to decide what form of government (monarchy or republic) to give to the country after the second world war and the fall of Fascism.
After 85 years of monarchy, with 12,717,923 votes for and 10,719,284 votes against, Italy became a Republic, and the monarchs of the House of Savoy were deposed and exiled. This is one of the most important Italian public holidays which, like July 14th in France and July 4th in the USA, celebrates the birth of the nation. A grand military parade is held in central Rome.
