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.

felt this in my soul.
Cerebral and Unsettling. Made me very sedate. Loved the ending !
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.
