Enrico S. @Enrico Dec 27 There’s something deeply satisfying about settling into a slow, beautifully shot film like this. It takes its time, and lets the acting and images do the work. It’s a very different pace from most movies today, but if you give it your attention, it pays you back. See more Navid S. @navidshah94 Nov 8 Antonioni turns a single night into a lifetime of silence. La Notte isn’t a story about the end of love — it’s the quiet realization that love has already died and neither of them noticed when. Every room, every street, every glass building in Milan reflects their emptiness back at them. Jeanne Moreau’s wandering through the city feels like the soul leaving the body of a marriage. Mastroianni’s charm collapses into fatigue. And Monica Vitti appears like a vision — modern, distant, untouchable — the ghost of a feeling that no longer exists. Antonioni films spaces, not people; gestures, not words. Every pause is a confession. By the time dawn arrives, it’s as if the night has absorbed everything human from them. It’s cold, hypnotic, devastatingly beautiful — a love story already buried under the ruins of modern life.

Um dos melhores filmes do Antonioni, e, um dos melhores que já vi na vida, lento e gradual, como-se deve ser os filmes de crônicas do cotidiano que tratam da existência como seu ponto principal. Uma obra-prima do cinema mundial, da época em que se dava para fazer muito com pouco. Da trilogia do realismo italiano de Antonioni esse é o trabalho que mais se destaca, mas, L'Avventura e L'Eclipse também são fundamentais para compreender os anseios daquela geração e da nossa também. "De onde viemos ?" "Para onde vamos?" "O que nós somos?".

The climax was very real feeling and was the only part I liked. Probably won't watch again.

Giovanni (Marcello Mastroianni) is a respected novelist, married to the beautiful and introspective Lidia (Jeanne Moreau), who lives in his considerable shadow. Over the period of roughly a day, she comes to the realization that she no longer loves her husband, in part due to the fact that she believes that he no longer loves her. Made during what was probably Antonioni's most creative period, it is beautifully filmed in stark black and white and features great performances from the two leads, as well as from Monica Vitti in a supporting role as Giovanni's potential love interest. The memorable final scene on the golf course feels heartbreakingly real. See more Randy B 02/06/2021 lots of suspense, not gory, reminds me of "the shining" See more Read all reviews
