La Notte (1961), Michelangelo Antonioni, A-
I am a little schizo on Antonioni. I adore two of his well-known films (”Blow-Up” and “Zabriske Point”) and loathe two others (”Red Desert” and “L’Aventurra.”) This one, “La Notte,” did it for me. What can I say? Dig Netflix’s stunning blurb: Michelangelo Antonioni’s study of alienation and moral decay chronicles a day in the life of a middle-class couple whose marriage has been destroyed by mutual indifference and impenetrable lonliness. Huah!!
