If you loved Eine reine Formalität, try Die Unbekannte
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Eine reine Formalität, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Die Unbekannte is
Apartments, northern Italy. Winter light, a child's cough. Irena seeks work, any work, to enter a well-off family's orbit. Her motives remain clouded as she manipulates her way into their lives, their home. Tornatore's thriller plays a long game.
