I'd like to see the other Damiani films available in the U.S. before attempting a review (I truly wish I already had after watching The Most Beautiful Wife). If you can find the time, I think you should consider starting a thread with some background info, or even a review, if possible.

"A+" is my highest rating. But "A" and "A-" are also used sparingly (they signify "one of the best of the year" for me, and consequently films given those grades qualify for my Primary end-of-the-year list). 

Damiani's film was certainly a pleasant surprise. Di Giarcomo's camerawork was just as accomplished as Morricone's score. A 14-year-old Muti and her performance were just striking as Orano and his work. The tonal consistency achieved by Damiani despite adapting such a sensationalistic true story was perhaps what astonished me the most. I can't wait to see the other films.

I love demonlover, and I'd like to believe subtitles are required in order to experience it properly.
