IDENTIKIT
Director: Giuseppe Patroni Griffi Run Time: 102 min. Release Year: 1974 Language: Italian
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Guido Mannari, Ian Bannen, Luigi Squarzina, Mona Washbourne
In what remains the most obscure, bizarre, and wildly misunderstood film of her entire career—and perhaps even 1970s Italian cinema—IDENTIKIT (aka THE DRIVER’S SEAT) stars Elizabeth Taylor as a disturbed woman who arrives in Rome to find a fragmented city. From there, Taylor navigates autocratic law, leftist violence, and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all. Academy Award® nominee Ian Bannen (THE OFFENCE), Mona Washbourne (THE COLLECTOR) and Andy Warhol co-star in this hallucinatory neo-noir, which was photographed by three-time Oscar® winner Vittorio Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW, THE LAST EMPEROR). New restored in 4K by Cinematheque of Bologna and Severin Films!
