An Unclassifiable Italian Jewel
There are those out there that despise Mya Communications for some of their slipshod past releases of inferior quality and high prices. I tend to agree with a handful of some titles that I purchased, however, I still am a grand supporter of them because of their ability of locating rare Euro titles of which 'THE GIRL FROM CORTINA' is a true find. A film that again is described as a late entry in the Italian Giallo canon, it definitely is not. Without spoiling the experience, an abused wife plans on escaping her abusive artist husband and thanks to a superb story idea from Luciano Martino, the film relentlessly twists and turns into familiar territories but with fresh results climaxing into a nail bitingly unexpected finale. Director Maurizio Vanni directs busily with superb and sometimes atmospheric camerawork by Giancarlo Fernando bringing the mountainous landscapes of the Alpine region of Cortina right onto your lap. The acting by all is excellent with the female leads...
like Diabolique
This thriller is well done and a story similar to the french film reference in the title of the review. pacing is good and it was a nice diversion
