Valerio Zurlini’s Girl with a Suitcase (1961) is a tender and melancholic Italian drama starring Claudia Cardinale and Jacques Perrin. After being abandoned by her wealthy boyfriend, nightclub singer Aida (Cardinale) seeks answers and instead forms a fragile, emotionally charged connection with his younger brother, Lorenzo (Perrin). Set in early 1960s Italy, the film explores class divisions, youthful idealism, and romantic longing with elegant restraint. A key early performance from Cardinale, presented in a restored high-definition edition.
