Girl With A Suitcase (Limited Edition BLU-RAY) Pre-Order Deadline March 29/25 Coming to Our Shelves April 29/25

Aida (Claudia Cardinale, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Day of the Owl) has fallen for a rich playboy and arrives at his door to find it firmly shut and herself ignored. His younger, more sensitive brother, Lorenzo (Jacques Perrin, Cinema Paradiso) helps her and finds himself quickly besotted. Cardinale gives one of her most tender and vulnerable performances in Girl with a Suitcase, an unsentimental coming-of-age story that deals as much with adolescence as class. A vital director of Italy’s post-war cinema, Valerio Zurlini’s small but remarkable body of work deserves to be discussed among the greats.
