Identikit
Directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi
In what remains the most obscure, bizarre and wildly misunderstood film of her entire career – and perhaps even ‘70s Italian cinema – Elizabeth Taylor stars as a disturbed woman who arrives in Rome to find a city fragmented by autocratic law, leftist violence and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all.

picture an artsy 70s mystery- then take out any action or horror and make it kind of sleepy. that's this movie. it's not bad, it's just... it's just really slow paced and moody
I honestly don't know if I loved or hated this movie. It was very bizarre and at times I did feel quite lost on the plot, Once I made it to the end and the big (and very disturbing) "reveal" happened, I immediately re-watched it and it changed my entire perspective. Kind of like when you watch The Sixth Sense for the first time, not knowing how it ends, then you re-watch it and realize how clever the story is, hinting at what is really going on. [NOTE: this movie is based on a 1970 novella called The Driver's Seat by Muriel Spark. I was so confused/obsessed with this upsetting story, I had to know more...
No just no , I've never been more baffled confused or bored by a movie in a seriously long time. Elizabeth Taylor was fine in her role but it's avery pretentious snotty role that was whatever to me, it's hard to even callthis bad I just seriously didn't get the point at all. Reading the synopsis is the only way to even make heads or tails of it, a reveiw way below spoiled the ending which I must have missed completely because I didn't see what was described. its an older movie so obviously it's not gonna be action packed but damn I was happy it ended.
seriously?
Ooooookkkkaaaayyyyyy.....
