May el-Toukhy film premiere at Venice Film Festival

Overview

Director May el-Toukhy presented her psychological thriller, ‘Woman Unknown’, at the Venice Film Festival. Set in 1945 Denmark, the film follows a nanny named Marie and examines the experiences of women accused of being ‘horizontal collaborators’ due to relationships with German soldiers during the occupation.

El-Toukhy stated the film aims to provide a voice to female experiences during and after World War II, noting how the female body can become a ‘battlefield for national identity and public shaming’. The narrative uses a rigid, haut-bourgeois setting to explore themes of sexual shame, violence, and whether private lives should be subject to public judgment.
