La Notte
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni2h 2m1961
A day in the life of an unfaithful married couple and their steadily deteriorating relationship in Milan.
Our read: La Notte (1961) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
