Description: Two Women (La Ciociara, 1960) is an Italian drama film directed by Vittorio De Sica, starring Sophia Loren in one of her most iconic and powerful performances. Loren plays Cesira, a strong-willed widow who, during World War II, flees Rome with her teenage daughter Rosetta (played by Eleonora Brown) to escape the Allied bombing and the horrors of war. They take refuge in Cesira's native village in the rural region of Ciociaria. The film is a harrowing portrayal of the brutality of war and its effects on women and civilians. One of the most traumatic scenes is the violent assault Cesira and her daughter experience at the hands of Moroccan soldiers in a church, a moment that has a profound impact on both characters. Sophia Loren's portrayal of Cesira earned her widespread acclaim. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first actress to win an Oscar for a foreign-language film. Her performance is a gripping mix of maternal strength, vulnerability, and raw emotion, capturing the devastation of war and the struggle for survival. Two Women remains one of Loren's most celebrated films and is considered a landmark in international cinema.
