Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of 1960s Italy and a biting critique of its sexual politics and celebrity culture. Over several intimate episodes, with just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung director Antonio Pietrangeli composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.
