UW Cinematheque - Special Presentation

Antonioni’s existential masterpiece displays the director's fascination with landscape, geometry, and architectural forms as a means of expressing the troubled state of Italy's post-war middle class. In the role that made her an international superstar, Vitti stars as a woman searching for a lost friend who finds another. This complicated but riveting moral allegory ultimately ushered in the golden age of the European art film. A newly struck 35mm print will be shown!
