A Digital Remaster of Two Women Is Finally Available

In the age of patriarchy, Two Women was a feminist document that propelled the characters with Loren's intense performance and De Sica's near-neorealist documentary edge. But Two Women's long survival in the public domain is an unfortunate reminder of the frailty of the film medium. Despite its success, it was buried in cheap bootleg prints and pan-and-scan DVDs for over three decades. Thanks to a new digital remaster, it is finally available in its full glory.

Sophia Loren

In "Sophia Loren, Two Women," the talented actress plays Cesira, a woman who must leave her home and daughter to escape the ravages of World War II. While hiding out in a small Italian village, she falls in love with the charming Michele, a soldier's daughter. The war uproots everything for mother and daughter, and forces them to endure sexual assault and attack from soldiers.

In 1961, Two Women was a feminist document in an age of patriarchy. Both Loren and director De Sica's powerful performances propelled the film. The movie also illustrates the fragile nature of the film medium. Because of legal blunders, it was released into the public domain. Though it had remained unavailable for three decades in pan-and-scan DVDs and bootleg prints, it was only recently reconstituted in a shiny digital remaster.

Based on the novel by Alberto Moravia, "Two Women" tells the story of a mother and daughter fleeing the ravages of World War II. Their survival depends on the kindness and understanding of a young girl named Michele. Cesira and Rosetta eventually return to Rome, but the war has shattered their lives. Rosetta ends up raped by a soldier, and the film becomes about the savage cruelty of war.

Jean-Paul Belmondo

Film director Vittorio De Sica's Neorealist classic, Two Women, has recently been remade as a television series, and stars Jean-Paul Belmondo as the intellectual love interest of Cesira, a middle-aged heiress. The film was inspired by the real-life experience of Cesira, who fell in love with Belmondo, and starred the French actor himself.

After meeting Andress in the 1960s, Belmondo fell in love with her and a relationship developed. Belmondo and Andress married in 1964, and their son was born in 1969. Belmondo also dated Italian actress Laura Antonelli, whose son was born in the same year as the actor's. Despite the fact that their relationship was short-lived, the two remained friends for many years.

Growing up in Paris, Mr. Belmondo was exposed to many arts as a child. His father, a sculptor, had several paintings hanging in the family. His mother, Sarah, was a painter, and his father was an academic sculptor. He studied drama at the Paris Conservatory, where his father had taught at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts. He also briefly pursued an amateur boxing career, and went on to act in several provincial productions of classics. He later entered the Comedie-Franoise.

In 1960, he returned to the screen in Un homme et son, a film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. He was so good at the role that many thought it was improvised. However, Godard never let Belmondo memorize his lines and instead cued him throughout the film's takings. In the film, Belmondo dies from a gunshot wound, and his death is a tragic one. The actor's performance is unforgettable.
