A Girl Called Jules

A Girl Called Jules

1970 · 106 min · ★ 6.4 · Drama

After his Western triumphs, Valerii stepped out of the shadow of Sergio Leone with this distinctly Bergmanesque sexual melodrama.Dionisio is perfect in the title role and this remains her best film, Valerii turns up along the way too. Just when the film hits a period of auto pilot John Steiner turns up in the final reel for a climax that is quite unforgettable. A bit difficult to trace but well worth the effort.

Directed by Tonino Valerii · Written by Mauro Di Nardo
