La Notte

A writer is confronted with his wife's disillusionment in their relationship. Between the dark side of the characters and the lightness of the parties that take place there, The Night "is Antonioni's great film about modern architecture, about urban silences and noises, about the plastic mannerism of interiors, about the tension of the lines that connect them to the characters and the tension of the camera as a skilful manipulator of those lines". (Manuel S. Fonseca)
