Vittorio De Sica's (Bicycle Thieves) Two Women finally gets the release it deserves, pristinely restored and re-mastered in HD, doing justice to this neo-realist masterpiece which won Sophia Loren an Oscar for Best Actress – the first ever in a foreign-language film. It's based on the novel by Alberto Moravia (The Conformist). A young widow, Cesira (Sophia Loren) and her 12-year-old-daughter flee war-ravaged Rome to Cesira’s native village in Ciociaria. Yet, as the allied forces push back the German occupation, the two women fall victim to a devastatingly brutal act at the very hand of the country’s liberators.
