Girl in the Window
La ragazza in vetrina (original)
Luciano Emmer, one of the unsung figures of the neorealist movement, directs this slice-of-life immigrant’s tale cowritten by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Beginning with a visceral look at the harsh working conditions of miners in the Netherlands, GIRL IN THE WINDOW transforms into a risqué love story as two of the miners—Italians Federico (Lino Ventura) and Vincenzo (Bernard Fresson)—head to Amsterdam to hit the town. In the city’s red-light district, the pair meet sex workers Else (Marina Vlady) and Chanel (Magali Noël), with whom they strike up whirlwind relationships.
Starring Lino Ventura, Magali Noël, Marina Vlady, Bernard Fresson, Antonio Badas, Roger Bernard, Ingeborg Jonassen, Salvatore Lombardo, Giulio Mancini, Peter Faber
