The Girl by the Lake 2007


Girl by the Lake       In Northern Italy, a young woman is found dead beside an alpine lake in the mountains of Friuli.  Commissario Sanzio from Southern Italy is called in to lead the investigation of the crime.  The town near the lake is a quiet place and everyone knows what is going on with all the people in the area.   
      Sanzio is very intense in his investigation but he has problems of his own.  His wife is losing her memory and she doesn’t remember he is her husband or that she has a daughter.  There is a ‘kidnapping’ of a young girl on her way to school in the beginning of this film but it is like a ‘red herring’ because it’s not related to the crime.  3* (This movie is OK)

95 min, Mystery directed by Andrea Molaioli with Toni Servillo, Denis Fasolo, Nello Mascia, Giulia Michelini, Marco Baliani, Fausto Maria Sciarappa, Franco Ravera, Sara D’Amario, Heidi Caldart, Alessia Piovan.

Note:  Imdb 6.6 out of 10, 55% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 4.4* out of 5* with 10 reviews.
Special Note:  The title in Italian is La Ragazza Del Lago.  This movie was filmed in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.
