About

Synopsis

La donna del lago (1965) — watch online on iFILM, an Italian psychological thriller co-directed by Luigi Bazzoni and Franco Rossellini. A writer named Bernard arrives at a lakeside mountain resort in winter. He came to find Tilde, a woman he knew there years before. She is already dead. The official verdict is suicide.

No one in town wants to discuss it. Bernard pushes and discovers that the family running his hotel knew Tilde well. Virna Lisi, Valentina Cortese, and Pia Lindström each play women who reveal nothing easily. Shot in black-and-white with winter lake landscapes and indoor silences that feel wrong, the film earns its dread through compression rather than shock. Stream "La donna del lago" (1965) online on iFILM.
