On the cusp of marriage, Liana becomes convinced she shouldn't live a life in service of a man. Instead, she leaves for Amalfi...

On the cusp of marriage, Liana (Françoise Christophe, Fantômas) becomes convinced she shouldn't live a life in service of a man. Instead, she leaves for Amalfi, where she embarks on an affair. From there she makes for Paris, but each new adventure is compromised by some kind of emotional constraint, culminating in a final act of tragedy.

Vittorio Cottafavi (Traviata '53)'s emotionally complex story exhibits the melodramatic finesse of Douglas Sirk with a style reminiscent of Max Ophuls. A remarkably modern exploration of female autonomy, A Free Woman has been newly restored by Radiance and is presented on home video for the first time outside of Italy.
