About this event
On the cusp of marriage, Liana becomes convinced she shouldn't live a life in service of a man. Instead, she leaves for Amalfi, where she embarks on an affair. From there she makes for Paris, but each new adventure is compromised by some kind of emotional constraint, culminating in a final act of tragedy. Vittorio Cottafavi's remarkably modern exploration of female autonomy exhibits the melodramatic finesse of Douglas Sirk with a style reminiscent of Max Ophuls. A Free Woman has been newly restored by Radiance.

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
