(LA SCONOSCIUTA, Giuseppe Tornatore, Italy 2006, 118 min., Italian/subtitles)

In a gripping work of suspense from the director of Cinema Paradiso, a mysterious woman (Xenia Rappoport) uses desperate means in order to be hired as nanny to an upwardly mobile couple’s young daughter. As the story slowly reveals her motives, the woman’s disturbing past comes back to haunt her. Tornatore’s usual composer Ennio Morricone contributes another beautiful music score.
