Product Description
Italian drama. Giovanna (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) is a young woman who has a dead-end job and is trapped in a lifeless marriage. Her life is transformed when her husband brings home an old man who has survived the Holocaust but remains obsessed by events he can't quite remember from 1943. As Giovanna tends to him and tries to help him remember what happened in 1943, she in turn becomes obsessed with the man who lives across the road from her, who she can see everyday from her bedroom window. Eventually she must make the choice; to stay with her husband, or take up the new opportunities her handsome neighbour seems to offer.

A very good film, beautifuly acted, and a wonderful story which slowly unwinds throughout the film. There's also a very good theme of questioning whether we really want what we think we want and that we should all be true to what we want to do. No spoilers there, but all those themes are present!

Splendid!
Beautifully filmed. Superb acting (Massimo Girotti at his best in his last role). An amazing and utterly entertaining intelligent film.

close to a classic
When we sat down to watch Facing Window, we expected a kind of "Una Giornata Particolare". Although not a "Una Giornata Particolare", this is a great italian movie. Read more
